If someone goes to the polls on election day, marks his ballot, and then has a heart attack on the way home and dies, does his vote count?
Of course it does. Just as if a vote were mailed in during the early voting period.
Can you vote early before you turn 18, if you’re going to turn 18 before Election Day? If so, then someone could vote despite not ever being eligible, if they die in between.
No, you have to register first. You cannot register unless you are actually eighteen (just as you cannot buy a quart of vodka 4 days in advance even with a sworn affidavit that you promise not open it before your 21st birthday). There may be some flex in the way state election commissions operate (e.g., you must register 30 days in advance, but you turn 18 on Halloween would be difficult), but I believe most states are fairly strict about when you can register.
It looks like most states allow some form of pre-registration for people under 18……although you do have to be 18 on Election Day to cast a vote.
I have not found any cites regarding whether the person that turns 18 on Election Day can cast an early or mail-in vote.
What did surprise me is the number of states that allow 16 year olds to pre register. After thinking about it, it makes sense….they can take care of the voter registration when the 16 year old goes to get their drivers license.
Vivek sez vote for me or the Donald gets it.
It’s not a bad bet–there’s a decent chance Trump gacks it in the next 10 months, so then he looks prophetic. Whether it gets him votes???
I turned 18 a few days before the election in 1980. I voted absentee and mailed my ballot back before my birthday. I can’t comment on the second part as I’ve managed to avoid dying so far. I did feel like death warmed over the day after my birthday, but I don’t think that counts.
Not only that, there’s a mosque in the original Bethlehem, the one in the West Bank! Namely, the Mosque of Omar, right across from the Church of the Nativity.
Christian residents and tourists in Bethlehem seem to be okay with its presence, but then they are not such fragile little snowflakes as DeSantis.
Isn’t that (“a mosque in the original Bethlehem”) the one he’s complaining about? If you watch the video, he describes the church built over the supposed site of Christ’s birth, and a mosque “towering” over it nearby.
Oh, is it? My bad, I assumed he just had to be talking about Bethlehem PA (which does have a mosque) or somewhere. Why the hell do Americans care about whether/where there are mosques in (gasp!) the Middle East? Never mind, rational thought is probably wasted on this issue.
oops, election shenanigans…
I don’t even want to start to think of the moronic hellfire blowback that would spew forth if it had been Biden getting those misreported votes.
This is starting to sound like a Simpsons episode… “Mayor Quimby released Sideshow Bob, a notorious criminal, from prison! We must defeat Mayor Quimby! Vote Sideshow Bob for Mayor.”
DeSatanis says he lost Iowa because the media rigged it for Loser Donald.
I’m just surprised he did not blame “illegal Immigrants” or climate change, or Woke, or Disney, or voting machines, or the deep state.
The night is young still.
I tried watching it also, and, like you, could not stomach it for the full time listed. I quit when the bigotry appeared. What was that, 10 seconds in?

This article doesn’t mention the political affiliation of those involved, but it’s in Das Floridareich, so I’m gonna go out on a limb and say they’re Republican.
Is professional wrestling - the semi-sport where scantily clad men covered in baby oil slap their bare bodies against each other in a display of choreographed violence that comprises the male equivalent of soap opera - just too darn woke for you? Well, here’s a wrestling promotion that promises no girls allowed!
The promoter, a guy who goes by “Florida Joe” and who I can only assume smells like steroids and Mountain Dew, does say they used to have a female writer - but they had to fire her because the wrestlers didn’t like a woman telling them what to do.
Are you serious? They actually planned all of that stoopid shit? I honestly thought they did coke in the dressing room and then came out and screamed at each other.
I haven’t watched professional wrestling since I was a kid, but even then I knew it was fake. But not this fake!!!
I worked with the local pro wrestling promotion for many years (not as a wrestler), and we had some women wrestlers in it. They were not to be trifled with; they could kick ass and take names with the best of the boys.
They were especially a big hit with the girls in the audience. They’d line up for photos and autographs from the women wrestlers, and they bought the merch from the women wrestlers.
After seeing all this, and working with all the people in the promotion, it seems to me to be a mistake to exclude women. But what the hell; it’s not my promotion.
