2 Chainz has long been an advocate for felons getting their voting rights back and was extremely active in encouraging people to vote during the presidential election. Now the duffle bag boy is using his influence to encourage voters to get out and vote in the upcoming Georgia Senate run-off.
2 Chainz announced on Instagram that he’s teamed up with HeadCount, a non-partisan organization leveraging the influence of artists to reach and register voters.

MARIETTA, Ga. (Reuters) – Hundreds of people lined up in a cold rain on Monday to cast ballots in a pair of U.S. Senate races in Georgia that will determine control of the chamber and heavily influence Democratic President-elect Joe Biden’s ability to enact his agenda.
Election experts said turnout on the first day of early voting in a contest that ends on Jan. 5 could offer clues to which side ultimately prevails: Republican Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, or their respective Democratic challengers: Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.

“On the first day of early voting during the general election, there were people lined up long before the polls opened. If we see something like that, I think that would bode well for the Democrats,” said Michael McDonald, a University of Florida political science professor who administers the US Elections Project.
