With only 10 days left till election day, Voto Latino shows us in episode three on their online novela, that not registering may cause sex tapes and Vegas marriages.

As promised, here’s the next episode of a Voto Latino’s novela, La Pasión de la Decisión The theme is: no sex until you are registered to vote. My theme is, no sex until you do something beyond voting (this may explain my lack of sex).

Our amigos at Voto Latino just released the the final episode of their get out the vote spoof telenovela La Pasión de la Decisión. It features Rosario Dawson, Wilmer Valderrama, Tony Plana, Mayte Garcia y otros acting melodramatically TelemundoUnivision style.

We’ll feature an episode everyday as we get closer to election day. Part one asks the burning question, would you marry/date/sleep with someone who wasn’t registered to vote?
