T.I. Finds Loophole -- Dude CAN Vote?!

Posted Oct 29th 2008 5:23PM by TMZ Staff

For a convicted felon, T.I. is pretty damn good at reading the fine print of the law -- 'cause the rapper found a way to VOTE after all!

T.I. -- who pleaded guilty to weapons charges last year -- found a loophole in the Georgia law book, which allows a convicted felon the right to vote IF they're not currently serving probation or a prison sentence.

Because T.I. isn't expected to be sentenced until next year, dude still can exercise his civic duty.

And before authorities could change their mind, T.I. hit a polling place in Atlanta to lock in his ballot ... cause like he says, in America -- you can have whatever you like.

3. Good for him. Despite his mistakes, I'm proud of T.I. and all that he's done for our community here in Atlanta. I'm happy to see that he cared enough to find the loophole, and that he followed through on his civic duty.

7. Way to go TMZ! Your smart-ass remarks just blew up in your face! If one of your staffers had bothered to do a little research, you would have realized you were wrong! Many convicted felons have had their rights reinstated, that's besides this LAW (not loophole) that allows T.I. to vote. Morons.

14. Let me guess. He's a criminal and there is only one party that he truly feels comfortable with. Hmmmm, which party would that be? Oh yeah, it the party that cares more about the criminal than the victim. it's the party that advocates welfare over getting a job and working hard. It's the party that says no problem to using abortion as birth control. Hooray, we have a winner. It's the democratic party. And this year, they have the perfect nominee. A racist socialist would wants to play Robin Hood, (the key word is Hood) and give the less fortunate a chance in life. Isn't it nice that even convicted felons have a candidate that they can look up to?
