Why are Drake, 50 Cent and Chris Brown registered to vote at the same Katy house?
By Dylan McGuinness
Feb 13, 2024On paper, the scenario seemed unbelievable.
Recording artists Drake, 50 Cent, Chris Brown, Trey Songz and The Game are all registered to vote at the same beige, $300,000 house in a modest new development in Katy.
Nobody was more perplexed than the homeowners, who said they were unaware of the celebrities’ registrations. Neighbors said they had not seen any of the Grammy-nominated artists grilling outside, mowing the lawn or washing their cars.
It wasn't a new reality TV show, but it appears to have been a prank perpetrated by someone who registered the artists to vote without their knowledge, armed only with their legal names and dates of birth. It did not even require an ID.
Amanda Ruisi, a representative for 50 Cent, said the rapper did not register to vote at the Katy house and had no idea somebody signed him up to vote there. His attorney started looking into the matter after the Chronicle reached out. ...
The apparent prank shines a spotlight on a potential loophole in federal voting registration law that allows virtually anyone to register friends, enemies or celebrities to vote. Whether the intent is malicious or not, experts say it is still illegal. ...

IF American law would allow such a thing,whoever came up with and implemented this idea in order to get publicity deserves a Knighthood.
I hope those in every state who are in a position to do so,looks into what they have to do to pass laws that will prevent this from happening.
And,of course,the flip side is those in power in the "Globalist States" are probably getting a little short of breath now that this is getting exposed.

Not sure why there's a federal voter registration law in the first place, when the individual states - and their secretaries of state - are responsible for the administration of elections.

I'd say someone is waiting for the next "omg it's Covid!!!" lockdown and "we have to have elections by mail." If a few dozen ballots arrive at 50 Cents' address in Katy, well, someone will be mailing them in.
