Get out and vote!!!
- I think they stayed in, and voted. These are mail-in ballots, right?
  
  Not necessarily, early in-person and mail in is what they are talking about. Someone will correct me if I’m wrong!
  
  I actually tend to drop off my mail ballots at the local library drop box.
- No way man.
  I’m voting by mail in my underpants.
  
  I'm voting in person in my underpants
Glad to see Jimmy got his chance to cast his vote.
- Nice!

  Next goal: be able to call her to offer his congratulations after the election.
- Does his vote still count if he dies between now and then? One of the infamous "dead people voting."
  
  Yes. Georgia has no specific law about this, so by default it will count. I also believe I read they can't find individual peoples votes for privacy reasons, so there is no way to pull it back.
  If you can legally vote when voting opens in Georgia and do so, it will count.
- Oh yeah that's today. He made it.
"Record number of early votes to go uncounted in forced hand recounts which will not be achievable in the three day deadline."
- Stop.
  
  Stop what, counting ballots? I believe that is the plan, yes.
- Maybe, maybe not: https://apnews.com/article/georgia-election-rules-certification-03f6bc623d9f6aeeb3f9dc47823d03f9
  
  That is so good to hear. Of course, it will get appealed and sent to a higher court, so we'll have to wait and see, but that's still great news. Thank you.
Congrats to Jimmy Carter, he made it!
- Hopefully he gets to see her win.
  
  I’m roughly half his age and I’m hoping to finally see our first female president. I can only imagine how thrilled he’d be to see it happen.
And they'll find a way to invalidate these or just "dispose" of them. But vote!!!
Wooo! Go Georgia!
