Early voting in Georgia is October 15. I assume he is going to vote as early as he can.
does it count if you die before the actual election?
In any case, I got my ballot last Saturday here. (in MN. I'm signed up for it to be automatic... which is super easy to do. Just go through the online registration at the MN secretary of state page, and make sure to tick the box for 'automatically send ballots for mail in voting' or whatever.)
Everyone- Check your voting status here,. remember, Trump loses if we vote. Maybe we can convince Kamal to paint the White house Tiedye or something.
I believe it does, yes. Once the ballot is cast, it's counted.
You could potentially die in a car crash after leaving the polling place on election day.
well, still don't want him to die.... but...uh.... up to him, I suppose. After the fifteenth...
You never know. He could vote again in four years.
Two more weeks, buddy. You can do it!
Don't you put that bad juju on Jimmy Carter
No juju. I don't think Jimmy is going to be voting at the polling place. Especially when he doesn't have to.

Varies by state. Georgia is one of several states without a clear rule. At any rate, it seems to be constrained by practicality. If they already opened the envelope to count it, it’s hard to undo it.
