Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer Aniston specifically noted that she voted for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and she opened up about exactly why.
"I voted for them because right now this country is more divided than ever," she wrote in her caption. "Right now, a few men in power are deciding what women can and can't do with their own bodies. Our current President has decided that racism is a non-issue. He has repeatedly and publicly ignored science... too many people have died."
She also had something to say to people who see Kanye's name on the ballot: "It's not funny to vote for Kanye. I don't know how else to say it. Please be responsible 🙏🏼."

Sarah Michelle Gellar
Sarah Michelle Gellar has been keeping us all informed with her snappy #smgtipoftheday, #quarantip, and #quarantruth posts and this voting announcement was her most important PSA yet.
"I used my greatest superpower. I voted," the Buffy The Vampire Slayer icon wrote. "I voted because, I believe being a woman is not a pre-existing condition. I voted because, I believe it's a woman decision what she does with her body. I voted, because I believe human rights, are for everyone , regardless of gender, sexual orientation or ethnicity. I voted, because I believe in science. I voted, because this disease is real and I've watched people die. Stand up for what you believe in and please vote."

Salma Hayek
Naturally, Salma Hayek voting post included a stunner selfie, but it wasn't about the modelesque shot. Her message was clear: "#votingmatters."
Hayek was a vocal democrat in the 2016 election, helping launch a "Latinos For Hillary" campaign, and even shared a story of her own about Trump's predatory advances. So, there's a good chance she's on board the #VoteHimOut train this year.

"Even if voting is the only thing you do in a day, you're able to feel like you did something major! It's pretty amazing! GO VOTE!!!"
While, she didn't share her exact ballot details, the message about her leanings made it pretty clear she didn't vote for a certain someone in office. "We believe in fairness, equality, and treating people with dignity. We are black and brown entrepreneurs. We are proud Americans. As importantly, we love being part of the GLOBAL Community. We believe in protecting our planet. We believe in helping those in need. We hate racists w a passion. Vote for BASIC HUMAN DECENCY. Our leadership needs to reflect that. Period." she wrote.

Beyoncé
We tip our hat to Beyoncé, who voted for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris today, November 2nd, according to her Biden-Harris face mask.
"Come thru, Texas!" Beyoncé urged her fellow Texas natives to vote blue in the election. Texas is a historically red state, but in 2016, President Trump won by a fairly slim margin—52.2% to 43.2%. The hope is that the state could go blue with the majority voting for Biden.
