Agreed, but let's all drop it and not allow it to ruin the OP's thread.
Thank you for keeping the focus on the thread.

PS. That election official is an idiot. He also possibly could be prosecuted for making false threats of prosecution to try to stop someone from voting.
Really hate to hear this, Dick. You haven’t been here for very long, but I have grown to like you, and look forward to your posts. Cancer is a nasty thing. Truly hope you can beat it. (hug)
If I knew I would be gone by the end of May, the last thing I would be worried about would be whether or not my vote would count. :roll: And I certainly wouldnt waste my time posting here.
When YOU reach the point that a computer is your strongest contact with the world you just might get it.
Visiting a grocery store or a walk around the block on a nice day has slipped away from me without assistance.
I wish it wasn't true ,but it is what it is.
I was only given a 25% chance of waking up from surgery in 2016 which means I have already been here longer than originally thought by my doctors.
I really appreciate your kind thoughts.
The cancer is stage 4 and terminal so beating it isn't a good option, but who knows.
The least a man with your problems can get is everyone's input when it's politely requested.I wish it wasn't true ,but it is what it is.

Indycar driver Alex Zanardi said after surviving a wreck that amputated his legs and going on to race again "doctors are good people that save lives, but don't ever let them tell you what you can't do, because the odds are there to be beaten!".I wish it wasn't true ,but it is what it is.

I am dying and able to early vote in May 2020, but it is unlikely that I will live to Nov. should my vote count?
I believe it should. If my vote is registered then it should count. The people you voted for are tallied in November 2020, but it isn’t like you have to be alive when they take office in January 21st, 2021.
A conservative election official I spoke to tried to say to me that he believed that it would be a form of voter fraud. I asked him to show me the statute he was basing his opinion on and low and behold he couldn’t find one.
Give me your best reasons for why shouldn’t it count and why it should. I mean if I vote early but do not succumb to my cancer no harm no foul, but if I perish prior to the November election what law is broken and what if any penalty could be imposed?
Whatever it is that you are voting for, your vote counts. As near as I can tell, the May date is your vote is for the Preferred Presidential election to choose the party candidate. So, be sure what it is that you think you are voting for. Regardless, a terminal illness cannot invalidate your vote, whatever it is you are voting on while alive. So, go and vote.
And may you prove your doctors wrong and live past November 2020; well past.
I get the idea that he's confusing the primary election with the general election.

Not theoretical.
I have thymic carcinoma (stage 4)
It is a very rare incurable form of cancer and I had surgery in Dec. 2016 were I lost a lung, kidney, 1/2 my diaphragm, 1/2 my heart sack, a phrenic nerve, they rebuilt my esophagus, detached a tentacle from my spine, left nerve bundle and 2.2 Lbs. tumor.
Since then I have two resurgences of the cancer which have not been cured only slowed.
I can't go 200 feet without needing a break, my left arm has become 85-90% dysfunctional, I need oxygen to prevent necrosis, I have one more experimental treatment before I start hospice care.
I have run the gambit of chemo, two types of radiation treatments and currently keep my pain at bay with a 24 hour a day fentanyl patch made by the Mayo Clinic Research. In addition I also take Opioid pain pills as needed on top of the patch because the pain reaches a level that I prefer not to experience.
My oncologist gives me 9 months, but that could be considerably shorter should the reoccurring tumors become even more vigilant.

At the very least, it should depend on the race. You should not be able to vote for president (unless you write-in) because the candidates will not even be chosen until July. If you want to write-in Trump or Warren or Weld or Yang or Krusty the Clown, fine, but I don't think we should enable blind party voting. If the person you write in doesn't get their party's nod, then you still get your vote counted for that person.I am dying and able to early vote in May 2020, but it is unlikely that I will live to Nov. should my vote count?

From a standpoint of first principles, I would say it should not count. But I can't figure out the logistics of determining what absentee/early votes are valid and which aren't without compromising the integrity of the secret ballot or unnecessarily prolonging the vote-counting process.
Completely inappropriate and beneath you. I'm shocked and disappointed.
