American citizens headed out to polling stations on Tuesday (03.11.20) to vote for their next president, and many celebrities had been taking to social media in the days before voting closed to make sure their fans exercised their right to vote.
But after one Twitter user accused the Kardashian/Jenner family of not using their “huge influence” to remind people of the importance of voting, Khloe Kardashian hit back to say the commenter was not “fully informed”.
The Twitter user wrote: “Not being funny, but you Ana your family are huge influencers and I haven’t seen any of you try and push the vote! (sic)”
And 37-year-old Khloe responded: “My family &I have encouraged the importance of voting, registering to vote and using your platforms. we have been posting for weeks/weeks where people can register. Where people can vote. We have made it super simplistic/easy. Please be fully informed before u make untrue claims (sic)”
Earlier this week, Khloe’s sister, Kim Kardashian West, took to social media to share a picture of herself with an “I Voted” sticker, whilst fellow sibling Kendall Jenner used her Halloween costume to remind people to head to the polls.
Kim wrote alongside her post: "I VOTED!!!! Did you?!?! If you are in line when the hours of operation close at the polls, they are required to stay open and allow you to vote, so do not get out of line! (sic)”
Kourtney Kardashian also encouraged her followers to vote in a social media post which told people their “voice is important”.
Meanwhile, Khloe has continued to be vocal about the election - which does not yet have a clear winner - even after the polling stations had closed, as she reached out to those who are “riddled with nerves” as they await the official results.
She tweeted: "I am seeing that so many people were unable to sleep because of the elections. Even people not from this country. Many are riddled with nerves.
"Try to take care of yourselves today. 30 mins of praying or meditation may help. We will all get through this together. We have to. (sic)”
