Patrick Bet-David Gets DENIED at the Polls

"How many people do you think don't go because the other place is 25 minutes away and people got things to do?" Patrick Bet-David asks outside a Broward County polling location.

His concern is practical: being sent elsewhere can mean another journey for someone already fitting voting around work and family. In "Patrick Bet-David Gets DENIED at the Polls," he says he went to his familiar voting location in Florida and was told he could not cast his ballot there.

The Short drew roughly 430,000 views in its first day, far beyond the channel's usual start for that format. Its comment section was several dozen times busier than usual, with viewers calling for an investigation and sharing their own accounts of polling-place changes. Those accounts do not establish what happened in Broward.

Outside the location, Bet-David speaks with a candidate for State House District 100, who says he has seen supporters redirected throughout the day. Bet-David then announces that he is driving to his assigned polling place. The clip ends in his car, where he displays an "I Voted" sticker and encourages viewers to persevere.

The personal voting account sits alongside PBD Podcast's broader election coverage. Its midterm livestream has passed a million views, with a guest lineup including Glenn Beck, Piers Morgan, Ann Coulter and Cenk Uygur.
