Underage Selena Gomez Sways Voters

Well, if Heidi Montag can endorse John McCain without being registered to vote, and Paris Hilton can run for President with Rihanna on her ticket, then who's to stop 16-year-old Selena Gomez from encouraging youngsters to hit the polls?

The pint-sized Disney diva attended a Ur Vote Counts rally on the outskirts of Los Angeles Saturday.

Granted, Selena won't be able to vote herself until the next Presidential election. But that didn't keep the Wizards of Waverly Place star from being on hand at the event, held at the Glendale Galleria.

No one should be surprised, really. Gomez is already adept at giving political, carefully-worded answers to the speculative and probing media.

Plus, she's amassed a core following of supporters.

“Wow, she really looks like she was having fun. Now this is the way to encourage younger voters to do something. . . anything?”
Splash News Online
“So, we did a little (as in minimal) research about this UR Vote Counts thing. Apparently, it's a website that aims to get teens involved/interested in the topics relevant to the upcoming election while also assuming teens are stupid. That'll win 'em over. Throw in just enough LOL's to stab at the age group's cognitive capacity. Sigh. Strangely, we have more faith in you, teens.”
“UR Votes Count is a one-of-a-kind experience that educates and engages teens on timely, relevant issues facing the nation and the world. The organization encourages teens to find a mall location near you or vote online at UrVotesCount.com.”
