“No, no, no, no, no, no,” the actress tells Carey. “It’s not your season yet, Mariah. It’s voting season.”

Washington goes on to ask whether Carey is registered to vote, to which Carey responds in an affirmative tone. Thereafter, she opens a paper fan with 'Voter' written in block letters and says:

“That’s amazing! Because it’s my season before it’s her season. So, now all we need is you!”
