ELECTION 2008
Grammy award winning artist Clifford Harris, right, known as T.I., signs a paper with his executive assistant India Al before he enters the Henry County Voters Registration Office to vote on Wednesday in McDowndon, Ga. This is the first time Harris has ever vested. He was convicted of a weapons charge earlier this year for trying to purchase guns from a federal agent.
Rapper T.I. gets to vote despite status as felon
Convicted felons eligible to vote under Georgia law if not on probation or serving jail time

McDONOUGH, Ga. — TL originally thought his voting privileges were revoked as a convicted felon, until he researched and learned that under a Georgia law felons are eligible if they're not currently serving probation or a prison sentence.
"It's a relief," said the bestselling rapper, who stood in line for no more than 10 minutes on Wednesday before entering a polling center in suburban Atlanta to vote for the first time in his life.
"This what it is all about, not staying up late and waking up early to vote," he added. "Now rather than just talking about it, I'm being about it. I'm leading by example, and it makes me feel a lot better."
T. I., who already has two No. 1 hits off his new album "Paper Trail" ("Whatever You Like" and "Live Your Life" with Rihanna), does have several federal firearms offenses and ongoing community service endeavors, stemming from his arrest last October for trying to buy automatic weapons. But his lawyer, Steve Sadow, confirmed that he can still cast a ballot because his sentence doesn't start until late March next year.
"Until he is sentenced in the federal case, he doesn't have a conviction yet," said Sadow of his 28-year-old client, whose real name is Clifford Harris. "Even though he is a convicted felon, he has a right to vote since he is not serving probation and hasn't started his prison sentence."
A spokesman for the Georgia
Secretary of State's office confirmed that T.I. was eligible to vote.
With an "I'm a Georgia Voter" sticker planted on his black vest, T.I. signed autographs and took photos with several fans who were stunned to see the Grammy-winning artist in line to vote.
"It's inspirational what he is doing," said Nathirya Brown, 19, a first-time voter who was one of
the first to spot T.L. stepping off his "Respect My Vote" campaign bus. He and the nonpartisan group Hip-Hop Caucus launched a nationwide tour in late July to encourage voters between the ages of 18 and 29 to take a more active role in politics.
"Just him being diligent enough helps others find out their status as well." Brown added.
