Regardless, if that were to be the case for Jimmy Carter I think anyone who threw out his ballot would find themselves extremely unpopular.
Comment on Jimmy Carter Casts His Ballot for Harris in Georgia
silence7@slrpnk.net 1 week agoThere’s a detailed article about that — Georgia doesn’t have a law requiring that the ballot be counted, so there may be some level of discretion for election officials to toss it.

Seriously. I have family in Georgia, and while there’s a ton of right wingers down there, they’re still proud of their Christian native raised former president. They’ll forgive him for being a Democrat, he didn’t know any better.

A sentence from that article that I love:
“Corporeal status”. I love it. I’m probably going to semi-ironically incorporate that phrase into my lexicon

If a person is alive at the time of voting, it makes sense to me to count it. They might die after the election before inauguration too.
Plus removing recently deceased people’s already cast votes opens up creative violent ways to help your team which I’m not a fan of either
