Leonardo DiCaprio shared an image which was designed as a public service announcement. The actor shared the image which highlighted itself as “important reminder”. The image gave out the message mentioning that the counting of every vote is part of the regularly scheduled programming. Thus implying that every vote which has been cast for the elections should be counted. This would, in turn, mean that the mail-in votes, as well as the polls, will be counted in the electoral war for the presidency. Sharing this image, Leonardo DiCaprio seemed quite straightforward with his messaging.

A few days ago, Leonardo was seen urging people to vote and the image he shared there too bore the words 'Count Every Vote'. Sacha Baron Cohen, who has also been quite vocal about issues in politics, posted the same image on his timeline without a caption. The main Instagram account that made the image too shared it first on their page with the caption urging authorities to leave no ballot uncounted. Earlier on November 5, Donald Trump posted a series of tweets where he claimed that he will legally challenge all the Biden claimed states as per the votes. Trump soon made another tweet in all caps demanding "STOP THE COUNT!". The same day, Joe Biden also made a tweet in which he said that the people will not surrender or be bullied, silenced. He continued to say that every vote must be counted as he concluded his statement in the tweet.
