Jim Cramer is famous for his rants, such as rampaging about his studio while wielding a blunt object to destroy things. He is also famous for his financial advice–not always the best, but he is average for getting the correct answer. What he does do, however, is present it in a way where everyday people can understand it. He has over half a million followers on his twitter feed. So, imagine the impact when the madman of CNBC put this into his twitter feed earlier today:

I have a problem. My dad, a vet, won’t be allowed to vote in Pa. because he does not drive, he is elderly, and can’t prove his citizenship.

This was followed up with:

RT @jpoknows: . My father does not have the physical ability to do these things the state requires. It is NOT unfounded.

PennDot read my Tweet and came directly to the rescue of Pop and did so in a terrific way so he can vote.. Thank you Penndot!

I never meant the Pa law to be a political issue. My dad has never missed an election. He will vote. But i don’t know who for!!!

Hey look, Pop’s 90. He went twice to Motor Vehicles by bus. He waited and waited. He could not wait more. But it has been solved. Thanks 2 u

It is good that Penndot did resolve the issue for Mr Cramer, but what of the hundreds of thousands of other people just like his father who are finding themselves unable to vote?

Oh, that’s right, it’s all there to ensure Mitt Romney wins the state of Pennsylvania, even though he has stopped all campaigning there.
