PLAINS, GA — In a stunning and unprecedented act of civic participation, former President Jimmy Carter has become the first deceased president to vote in the 2024 election—and unsurprisingly, it’s a vote for Kamala Harris.

Election officials confirmed that Carter’s absentee ballot arrived from his longtime Georgia residence, filled out perfectly in support of Harris. The remarkable occurrence was hailed by Democrats as a “monumental commitment to democracy that transcends life itself.”

“President Carter always believed in showing up to vote, no matter what,” said a Harris-Walz campaign spokesperson. “Death can’t stop a true public servant.”

When reporters raised questions about how Carter could have voted posthumously, the Fulton County Registrar’s office shrugged it off. “Voter suppression takes many forms. Declaring dead people ineligible is just another form of disenfranchisement,” said Deputy Registrar Faith Forevr.

The Biden administration was quick to praise the gesture. “It really shows how much support Kamala has—even across metaphysical boundaries,” said White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. “We anticipate even more ballots coming in from some of the greatest Americans of history.”

Sources also revealed that election workers are preparing for a record turnout of deceased voters in key battleground states. “This is democracy in action,” said one official proudly. “If anything, we expect Carter’s friends—Lincoln, FDR, and maybe even Roosevelt—might join him at the polls.”

Meanwhile, rumors swirl about a spiritual séance planned at the Carter Center, where other deceased politicians might be urged to complete their absentee ballots before Election Day. A Democratic strategist hinted, “We won’t stop until every soul, living or not, is counted.”
