“Former President Jimmy Carter told his family he was more interested in voting for Vice President Kamala Harris than his milestone birthday earlier this month,” the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.
“On Wednesday, he got his wish by filling out a ballot for his fellow Democrat that was put in the drop box at the Sumter County Courthouse near his hometown of Plains.”
Carter had previously told his grandson he was “only trying to make it to vote for Kamala Harris.”
