If you do early voting in most states it still will most likely count even if you die before November 5th.

Nine states—Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin—have statutes that explicitly prohibit counting absentee ballots cast by voters who die before Election Day.

Missouri statets that such ballots be rejected only if sufficient evidence is shown to an election authority that the voter has died before the opening of the polls on Election Day, and the deceased voter's ballot is still sealed in the ballot envelope.

In Colorado, Kansas and New York, absentee ballots can be challenged on the grounds that a voter died before the day of the election. After investigation, if evidence shows that the voter has died, the challenge is sustained and the ballot will be rejected.

I'm guessing that Jimmy Carter voted already.

statutes that explicitly prohibit counting absentee ballots cast by voters who die before Election Day.

So for every absentee vote someone has to search the records to find out if that person died? Do US states have a centralised register of deaths? And even if it can be done, is it actually done? It sounds like an unnecessary complication.

I heard Jimmy said that he wants to live at least long enough to watch Trump lose. So far, so good.
