“We asked you if you would to go a wealthy neighborhood here in Los Angeles -- oh, I’m sorry, we asked your friend, if your friend would go to a wealthy area of Los Angeles and talk to people about the elections today and the state of American politics,” Kimmel said. “And, well, here’s what happened.”
In the video, Borat, a fictitious Kazakh journalist, is seen standing outside, with a polling station sign visible in the background, and he tells the camera that he’s arrived “to do election tampering.”
