Stars react to election results, show off their stickers on Twitter
This year, Twitter became a huge part of the conversation with regard to the presidential election as voters were able to share reactions, opinions and proudly display their "I Voted" stickers in real time. Celebrities especially took advantage of Twitter to encourage fans to vote and blast out their response to Obama's win in 140 characters or less.

After the election was called in President Obama's favor, he tweeted out a picture that subsequently became the most re-tweeted item in the history of Twitter:

Why did the voter go to the strip club? He was looking for his polling station. #ClassicJokeSuperTuesday

They should probably set up the poll locations in front of amusement parks so at least you can go on a ride after you wait in line.
