"Don't let these assholes steal your vote." That's one of the less foul-mouthed utterances Sarah Silverman makes in her latest election-themed appeal, as she targets the new voter-ID laws in effect this year in many states—laws that are ostensibly meant to prevent voter fraud but are actually more likely to disenfranchise voting blocs that are partial to President Obama. Silverman has been a star of political activism through comedy since 2008, when her pro-Obama "The Great Schlep" video, done by Droga5, became wildly popular (and won a Titanium Lion in Cannes in 2009 to boot).
