Wait for it....

DDT: The increase in... voters could possibly be an effect of the campaign that includes promotions by celebrities such as P. Diddy, Ben Afleck, the Dixie Chicks and Christina Aguilera to name a few.

Chicago Tribune: David Kiecana can point to several reasons why he voted Tuesday. The war in Iraq. The 2000 recount that might have been avoided if more people had voted. And then there was the rap factor--P. Diddy, Eminem and other performers he admires who spoke out and told young people to vote.

Kiecana, 18, who lives on the border between East Village and Wicker Park, said P. Diddy's "Vote or Die" message was like a trigger to him. He was already thinking about voting, but watching BET and seeing the rap star's dedication to voting impressed on him just how important it must be.
