Early voting starts in Georgia on 10/15/24. Although Georgia’s PTB will not say if
his vote will count if he passes before Election Day.

Great patriot. Great human being.
Jimmy Carter is what an authentic man of faith looks like. Much like President Joe Biden.

Jimmy Carter was my very first presidential vote when I was and was where I learned to vote for the Democratic candidate every time, a concept that too many Democrats have not grasped.

Citizen for 96. But at 99, he might be allowed a bit of grace with the numbers ☺️

Dates

Early Voting: Oct. 15
Voting Registration Deadline: Oct. 7
Request absentee ballot: Oct. 25
Election Day for General Election: Nov. 5



Am also hoping dear Jimmy Carter makes it to vote. Seems likely that would make him rest easy after so much hard work.

Jimmy Carter is one. He has given meaning to the phrase, "A life well lived."

Jimmy Carter was the first president I ever voted for, and I was so proud to do so; it was for his re-election. Y'all know what happened. Fourty-four years later, I'm still pissed he lost.

he is another Mother Teresa........He is an incredible, once in a life time, person..........

AND, let no one forget that it was this same Republican CABAL that committed treason to undermine him winning the election in 1980, no differently than they did in 2000, 2004, 2016.............
