The source was indicating that early voting in Georgia starts on October 15, 2024, which is exactly two weeks after Carter's 100th birthday. Since we don't know whether Carter will make it to that date, nor when he will vote if he does make it to then, I'd say that based on how the sentence here is written, we shouldn't specify an exact relative date ("two weeks" or "one month") in the sentence. Simply saying it will be "after his 100th birthday" should suffice. MPFitz1968 (talk) 15:40, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also he'll probably vote absentee, which means he will mark his ballot even earlier, although it won't be counted until later. And we don't know what the rules are if someone dies before the count. So I agree we should leave out the exact timeframe. GA-RT-22 (talk) 15:49, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
An absentee ballot can be rejected (for an invalid signature or other procedural error) up until it is removed from the envelope and placed in the pile to be counted. When that occurs depends on state law. Donald Albury22:39, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why does it say he's a centenarian? Isn't his birthday October 1? That's tomorrow, at least in the eastern time zone. Are we going by UTC? GA-RT-22 (talk) 00:35, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You go up in age at midnight the day before your birthday, at least under English and American common law. Absolutely no one considers you to have, but this is legally correct:
Is there some reason the Bibliography section is not alphabetized by author name? Would it be ok for me to sort it?
What is this section anyway? I thought it was works cited, but it has a number of works listed that are not cited. Are these supposed to be general references? If not, are they further reading, and should they be moved to that section?
What is the primary sources section? Why are these in the further reading section if they are sources? It looks like it's books written by Carter, except for the last three entries on the list. What are these? GA-RT-22 (talk) 04:32, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Good catch. The link # hadn't changed since the request was made, so it was a fairly easy fix. That being said, GA-RT-22 is correct in saying that ref numbers change frequently in the course of editing. So, for future reference, please give more specific details when requesting a replacement link for a specific reference. Thanks. A. Randomdude0000 (talk) 15:53, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
