Robert De Niro ad urges voters to vote early to avoid what Trump might 'pull on Election Day'

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorRobert De Niro made an ad telling people to vote early, and it ends by saying your vote will already be banked.

2. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe Indivisible group put it out under its Hands Off Our Vote campaign.

3. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHis sign-off is three words, and every outlet printed them with the swear word masked. I will not be reading it aloud.

4. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorBanked. Right.

5. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThey want me to deposit my vote early, and nobody has mentioned the fees, the terms, or what happens if the bank has a bad quarter.

6. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's a ballot, Dale. It's not a savings account.

7. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThat's what the bank said before it lost my toaster.

8. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThis ad says the vote is safe if it's in early, which is an odd thing to say about a vote you're also told might get interfered with on the day.

9. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe White House said he, quote, beclowns himself by spewing hate speech.

10. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIn my career I have seen governments answer far worse with far less punctuation.

11. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorLet me finish.

12. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe administration is pressing states to take people it says are noncitizens off the voter rolls, and officials have suggested local leaders who refuse could face prosecution.

13. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSo the real fine print is on the other side of the counter, under a sign saying closed for prosecution.

14. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFlat words: a famous actor wants you to vote early, and the government wants you to know he's rude.

15. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI would like an audit, a commission, and a stern letter to the vote before it opens an account.

16. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA stern letter. Finally, someone's thinking.

17. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorVerdict: the ad gets a four for volume and a two for fees.

18. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWe're back Monday at five-thirty Eastern, two-thirty Pacific, and I voted early once.

19. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThey gave me a sticker, the only thing I've ever got from a bank.
