Jimmy Carter lived long enough to vote for Harris/Walz!

[senseandsensibility]

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!

[malaise]

1. K & R

Nice

[Think. Again.]

2. Thank you for this final act of compassion...

....after an entire lifetime of them, our dear Jimmy Carter.

[CurtEastPoint]

3. Let's hope Pres. Carter will be around to see her sworn in.

[regnaD kciN]

5. Indeed. I'm also hoping he lives at least until 11/5...

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

[Johnny2X2X]

4. Let's hope he makes it to after the election

Taht was his vote counts.

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

[neohippie]

39. his vote counts no matter what happens from what I can tell looking into this

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

7. Magnificent, Jimmy!!!

Go Jimmy, go!!

[BattleRow]

8. A dedicated steward of our nation,and an

honorable human being by nature and example.
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.

9. Great news!

[ProudMNDemocrat]

10. Much gratitude to you President Carter.

[Jarqui]

11. I have boundless admiration and appreciation for Jimmy

I can't think of a single Republican of the last 50+ years that can come close to Jimmy.

[lastlib]

31. (Cuz there aren't any)

No one with anything approaching his level of decency would allow themselves to be called a republikan.

[2naSalit]

12. I hope he...

Gets to see her inaugurated

.

[LoisB]

13. It is too bad evangelicals don't look to Jimmy Carter as a role model instead of donnie trump.

[wnylib]

14. Great man, great patriot, great president.

Thank you, President Carter, just for being you.

[Old Crank]

15. He has to make it to 11-6

for his vote to count

Hope he does.

[niyad]

25. please cite the relevant GA statute for that. Different states have different rules.

[Old Crank]

37. I may have been wrong

Georgia seems to have nothing in place. The law seems to be silent on this matter.

Here is a link with an overview of state laws.

16. Thank you

President Carter

[Dem2theMax]

17. That headline made me think he died!

[niyad]

26. Yes, that was my first thought as well.

[mucholderthandirt]

18. I am so grateful he got his wish and was able to vote. Rosalyn is proud of him, as are we all. Yay, Jimmy Carter.

(Want a weird side note? I have a BIL named Jimmy Carter. And yes, he has a brother named Billy. No relation to the former president, just an odd thing.)

[Teacher of the Year]

19. I would have stood on the street to watch him drive by to drop off his ballot.

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.

[red dog 1]

20. Thank you and bless you President Carter.

[HeartsCanHope]

21. Thank you, Jimmy Carter!

We love you!

[Botany]

22. This makes me happy

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.

[TommieMommy]

23. Fantastic 👍 thank you President Carter 💙

[barbtries]

24. I love that.

i really do. the most underrated president of my lifetime got to vote for the first woman president of the USA.

[Aviation Pro]

27. Fortunately, Georgia does not have a statute that rescinds a vote should an absentee voter pass before election day

Bank it, Mr. President.

[dhol82]

28. Just tried to look it up and it comes up a false news

It might happen soon but as of now it’s false.

[gademocrat7]

29. Thank you, President Carter

for your enduring commitment to our country.

[Ruby the Liberal]

30. This bring me so much joy

I was hoping to hear this - thank you for catching it and sharing.

[senseandsensibility]

33. You're welcome

I love and respect this man so much. It's so great that he was able to do this today. to a great humanitarian and public servant.

[sarchasm]

32. A great American.

Warms my heart.

[Gore1FL]

34. Hopefully he will see her elected, and inaugurated. nt

[krkaufman]

35. 200th to 250th

It’d be nice if a vote from the man who won the Presidency 200 years after the country’s declaration of independence could help extend that democratic experiment to its 250th anniversary.

[Moebym]

36. Makes me happy.

He is a good, kind, decent man. I wish I could have met him, as my mom has.

[LaMouffette]

38. Thank you for posting this! It gave me chills--the good kind. Thank you, President Carter, for this and for a lifetime

of selfless service to our country! You are everything that Trump is not.

[twodogsbarking]

40. People should be more like Jimmy. The world would be so so much better.

Me included.

[wendyb-NC]

41. Thank you, President Carter

[Groundhawg]

42. great news!

[Easterncedar]

43. My father, also born in 1924, would have loved to do so, too

He was a civil rights lawyer and activist, and he died in 2009. He would have been appalled by what the other party has become and would have loved Kamala.

I’m so glad President Carter made it. What an inspiration.

[Cassandra325]

44. Hurray for Jimmy!

Excellent President and even more excellent as ex-president.


Thank you!

[GopherGal]

45. Hopefully he outlives TSF's political career!

Next step: Outlive the Guinea worms.

The Carter Center has got it down to just 14 cases in 2023. (Down from ~3.5 million in 1986) And just 7 cases so far in 2024.
