      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!

      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.

        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.

          It’s reaching the point where that won’t matter.

          Bush v Gore was clear regarding the Safe Harbor date. Even if the traitorous, anti-democracy assholes win on appeal, it won’t matter if the election is over and the state legislature turns red and reverses the laws.

    And they’ll find a way to invalidate these or just “dispose” of them. But vote!!!
