MODERATORS
There'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.
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
Regardless, if that were to be the case for Jimmy Carter I think anyone who threw out his ballot would find themselves extremely unpopular.
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.
