who had a very tough 4 year window to be President in.

for her second inauguration!

Here’s hoping he gets to enjoy Harris’ election in November.

How would election officials know which ballot to not count?

Somebody posted a link awhile back, showing how this is common practice in many states, at least for mail in ballots, not sure about in person early voting.

Most mail in ballots have personal identification info on the outer envelope, which can be checked against death certificates between the postmark and election day.

I don’t think mail in ballots are opened and validated until election day.

Nothing would tickle Repugs sillier than throwing away Jimmy Carter's vote - and for added kicks, making sure the public finds out (but after November 5th, of course).

"You'd do that to a 100 year-old man!?" a Democrat might ask.

"Well, sure," they gurgle back at you. "Plus we know he's in no condition to complain!"

independently verified. The votes are then tabulated at 8pm on election day.

Eight states have 100% mail-in voting. It works great -- you can take your time, no long lines to wait in, no pesky scanners with proprietary software that skew votes, you can vote at your kitchen table, and best of all, there's a paper trail. The US military has been voting by mail since the Civil War.

That if President Carter passes away before Nov 5 his vote won't count.
He was alive when he voted, so of course it would count. To say otherwise cannot be argued, and if GA tries, you can be sure a lawsuit would slap it down.

I’ve seen that notion in other threads. It’s important to set the record straight.

Does your vote count if you die before Election Day? Here's what Georgia law says (WSB-TV, Atlanta:

Here’s the money quote:

that Habitat for Humanity work was amazing. I'm not surprised that he was determined to vote before he rejoins his lovely wife.

Loved him as President and after for the man that he is. Jimmy rules!!!!!

Jimmy ROCKS!!

We've got to get Kamala and Tim across the finish line. Then it's on to the inauguration. God wants you to live to see Kamala inaugurated!

That President Carter lives to see VP Harris & Gov. Walz defeat Dolt 45 & Hillbilly Vanilli.

He lives to see her inauguration!

And watch her be sworn in.

Let's all make sure he gets to see her WIN!!!!

Next goal: Live to see her elected, then take office.

To vote early, it shouldn’t matter if you pass away before OFFICIAL Election Day. You legally cast your ballot during the early voting window. I voted last week — by mail — and it will count as if I voted Nov. 5th at my precinct.

That’s my common sense take on the matter. Of course, GA (or any other state) might have twisted common sense to suit their own purposes. Let’s hope that common sense prevails. There are enough shenanigans going on these days trying to stop some of us from legally casting our ballot. 😉

Jimmy Carter…..they broke the mold when they made that guy!

/ disinformation about election laws upthread.

Figures. Lying about everything is all they got.

This "news item" is just a follow-up to the August statement by his grandson, saying that today is the first day of Georgia voting.

New Jersey.

Mail-In Ballot.

Walked it into the Board of Elections Office.

Showed my ID and signed the Book.

Can't be more definitive than that.

The story does not say that he voted today.
