According to the twitter, he voted early today and we know who he voted for!
Thank you for always doing your best for our country, President Carter. Here's to a lifetime of service!

(27,619 posts)or you can bet that, should Harris win Georgia, Republicans will charge voter fraud and demand that all early votes be thrown out.

Better yet would be for him to be able to see her sworn in.

(1,267 posts)The laws about votes not counting if a voter dies before the election all seem to refer to absentee (mail in) ballots only
When a voter votes in person, their vote is counted I believe most states laws only refer to the mail-in absentee ballots can be challenged or thrown out, but not votes that are made in person

Humble of heart and with purity of purpose,he demonstrated his worthiness to be Commander in chief.
His legacy of decency will serve as an example in the history books..if Project 2025 doesn't delete history books.

Teacher of the Year
(229 posts)12 year old me thought there was hope for the earth when he put those solar panels on the White House.
My hope lasted just a bit... until Reagan dropped them down.

(77,194 posts)Jimmy and Rosalyn didn't just talk the talk they walked the walk as per being real Christians and like Joe Biden they lived their faith in trying to help others.
Jimmy has made 20 months in hospice when
most stays in hospice care are about 70 days. He is an inspiration.
