Election fever has struck "The Voice."

Not only will America be casting votes in the presidential election next week but they can also vote in the live rounds of NBC's hit reality starting Monday on "The Voice."

To get in the spirit, Team Blake (Liz Davis, Terry McDermott, Michaela Paige, Julio Cesar Castillo and Cassadee Pope) are backing their mentor Oklahoma's country music star Blake Shelton and have produced their own attack ad – aimed at you – fellow coach Adam Levine, reports etonline.

The video accuses Levine of aggressive politics, dodging tough questions and not changing his wardrobe.

"Vote for the coach with a country heart," says one contestant in the video.

"A vote for Team Blake is a vote for America and... Scotland,” say other contestants.

"I'm Blake Shelton and I approved this message," adds Shelton, who lives on a ranch near Tishomingo with his wife Miranda Lambert.

"The Voice Live Play-offs" begin at 7 p.m. Monday on NBC, channel 2, cable 9, with part one of the top 20 artists performing live in front of coaches Christina Aguilera, Levine, CeeLo Green and Shelton. There will be no broadcast on Tuesday due to the election. The series will continue Nov. 7 with part two of the live play-offs with the results show airing Nov. 8.

Rita Sherrow grew up with TV. Yes, it was the ever-present “sister” from another techno mother. At first look, it was instant "Like." From then on, the TV had to be on in every room while she studied, elementary school through college. An Air Force brat, she attended school in three states (Oklahoma, Montana and Georgia) and two foreign countries (Germany and Bermuda) and graduated from Broken Arrow High School and the University of Tulsa with a degree in journalism/advertising. She first interned in the advertising world but, when a J-School professor (who also covered politics for the Tulsa World) offered her an internship at the newspaper, she took him up on it. The rest is history. She has served as bridal editor, senior features writer for the women’s section, food editor and is television editor of the Tulsa World. In addition to writing about TV shows and interviewing the stars for “Scene” stories, she also writes a TV column for Weekend and produces the Sunday TV World listings magazine.
