The recent discovery of five music celebrities being registered to vote at the same Houston residence has caused quite a stir. Among these famous names are Drake, 50 Cent, Chris Brown, Trey Songz, and The Game. The Harris County Attorney's Office is currently investigating the matter, as it seems that this was all done as a prank.
It's quite alarming how the person behind this prank was able to use the real names and dates of birth of these artists to register them as Houston-based voters. The Harris County Attorney's Office has made it clear that neither Drake nor 50 Cent had anything to do with these registrations, and whoever is responsible for this has committed a crime.
The right to vote is something that our communities take very seriously, and it's disheartening to see it being made into a joke. The investigation is looking into a loophole in federal voting laws that allows anyone to register. It was found that the rappers were registered on August 15, 2023, the same day that Drake was performing in California as part of his nationwide tour.
Thankfully, none of the music stars actually voted in last year's election, so no voter fraud was committed. However, it's concerning to hear that some residents have been struggling to register to vote despite multiple attempts. This brings into question the legitimacy of the registrations for these celebrities.
Randall Erben, a law professor at the University of Texas at Austin, has stated that whoever is behind this prank could potentially face serious charges. This is not something to be taken lightly, as it could be seen as a high misdemeanor or even a felony. It's clear that this was not just a harmless joke.
According to state regulations, only a spouse, parent, or child can complete voter registration forms on behalf of someone. This means that one person cannot legally submit forms for all five of these celebrities. It's clear that the person responsible for these false registrations has committed a serious crime.
In fact, submitting a false or forged voter application is considered a third-degree felony, while acting as someone else's agent is a Class A misdemeanor. If found guilty, the perpetrator could face up to a year in jail and a hefty fine of $4,000. It's crucial that the Harris County Attorney's Office gets to the bottom of this and brings the responsible party to justice. The right to vote should never be taken lightly.
