Mark Ruffalo, the famous actor, on Sunday criticized President Donald Trump's efforts to limit mail-in voting ahead of the midterm elections at an event titled "Hands Off Our Vote" in New York City. The actor, known for his role in the Marvel cinematic universe, told a crowd of voting rights supporters that Republicans are trying to prevent people from participating in the country's democratic process.
Criticism of Trump's efforts
Ruffalo loudly declared at the event that he is "ready to turn into the Hulk and stand against these actions." He reminded attendees that the right to vote is one of the fundamental rights of a citizen and any attempt to restrict it should be met with resistance. The actor expressed concern about the negative impacts of these restrictions on democracy and emphasized the importance of participating in elections.
Consequences of voting restrictions
Trump's efforts to limit mail-in voting come as the midterm elections approach, and many experts believe these actions could negatively affect voter turnout.

This event was not only an opportunity to express concerns but also allowed a group of social and political activists to discuss ways to tackle these challenges. Ruffalo concluded his remarks by urging attendees to actively participate in elections and make their voices heard.
