Speaking during promotions for journalist Greg \u200cPalast&#8217;s documentary, *Vigilantes Inc.: America\u2019s New Vote Suppression Hitmen*, Sheen \u200chighlighted concerns that these self-designated vote-fraud hunters\u2062 are targeting the votes of over 850,000 individuals, particularly focusing on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dozens-of-former-bush-officials-leave-republican-party-calling-it-a-trump-cult\/\" title=\"Dozens Of Former Bush Officials Leave Republican Party, Calling It A \u2018Trump Cult\u2019\">newly registered<\/a>, \u200byoung, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-cant-help-but-wince-as-he-talks-about-kamala-harris-its-weird-the-whole-thing-is-weird\/\" title=\"Trump finds it strange and uncomfortable discussing Kamala Harris.\">minority \u200bvoters<\/a>. Sheen stresses the importance of public awareness regarding these actions, labeling them as egregious, illegal, and racially motivated. He also expressed\u2062 fears that the\u2062 Supreme Court may intervene in \u2063the election results, causing further\u2064 distrust in the Republican Party. Despite his concerns, Sheen remains confident in\u200b Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217;s chances of \u2063winning the election.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Martin Sheen claims &lsquo;MAGA vigilantes&rsquo; are attempting to suppress voters<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1773762\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Actor Martin Sheen told voters to be aware of &ldquo;MAGA vigilantes&rdquo; who are trying to affect the outcome of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2024-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>2024 election<\/a>, arguing that they could have a &ldquo;powerful effect.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Sheen, perhaps best known for playing fictional President Jed Bartlet on NBC&rsquo;s <em>The West Wing<\/em>, was promoting a new documentary project from journalist Greg Palast,<em> Vigilantes Inc.: America&rsquo;s New Vote Suppression Hitmen<\/em>, which claims that &ldquo;self-proclaimed vigilante vote-fraud hunters&rdquo; are seeking to challenge the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/voting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>votes<\/a> of 851,000 people.
