WASHINGTON, Aug 21 (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, 99, is eagerly awaiting his chance to cast a ballot for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris this fall even as he approaches his 100th birthday, his grandson said on Wednesday. Carter, a Democrat who served in the White House from between 1977 and early 1981, has been in hospice care for about 18 months and suffered the loss of his wife Rosalynn last year. But he remains "engaged" and wants to see the country move past former Republican President Donald Trump, Jason Carter told MSNBC.
"He's super aware," Jason Carter said. "Just recently, we were talking about his 100th birthday, and he said, 'Yeah, I'm excited about that, but I'm really excited to vote for Kamala Harris.'" The former peanut farmer and nuclear submarine officer from Georgia has lived longer after his four-year term in office than any other U.S. president. He will turn 100 on Oct. 1, six days before the Southern state starts mailing out absentee ballots. Early in-person voting starts on Oct. 15.

More elder abuse—social services needs to check up on Jimmah.
100 year old voters is a significant voting block for Dems.
As I remember they had thousands of them in Wisconsin in 2020.
Carter is trying to move up the ladder. After kamala and biden, he could move up to 3rd worst president.
I’d take Carter over Kam. Even at 100. Especially at 100.
Who cares?
Does drooling on the ballot count?
He’ll be voting for her regardless if he is breathing or at room temperature.
Does he look excited or what?
Carter feeling nostalgic about a failed presidency, which Kamala promise to emulate this time around. Failures tend to stand behind other failures. They serve as good examples for other failures to follow.
All that said, democrats would support Carter now more than Kamala, if they had that choice. Carter was at least a choice of voting democrats during the primaries, whereas Kamala was selected by a Kremlin-like cabal.
BINGO!!! He’ll go up to FOURTH WORSE PRESIDENT!!
Well, he’s already broken the world record for length of time in hospice, so he’s looking for new accomplishments
Rosalynn will be voting for her, too.
EXACTLY-—THAT IS HIS GREAT REWARD FOR LIVING THIS LONG
SHE IS ALREADY WORSE-—
4th place. You forgot Obama.
He is excited now, but in ten years when he is dead, he will be an even more excited democrat voter. Just saying.
Carter is excited to be moving up to the third worst president in history.
