Claim: Former President Jimmy Carter “passed away Tuesday, July 23, at 01:34 am at his home in Plains, Georgia at the age of 99.” (X posts, 2024-07-23)
Evidence (2024-02-22): Former President Jimmy Carter, 99, is mourning the death of his beloved wife, Rosalynn Carter, who died on November 19 at age 96. Rosalynn passed away peacefully with her family by her side in the couple’s hometown of Plains, Georgia, according to a news release from The Carter Center. [...] Jimmy Carter was the 39th president of the United States and served as the nation’s chief executive during a time of serious problems at home and abroad. Carter’s perceived mishandling of these issues led to defeat in his bid for reelection. He later turned to diplomacy and advocacy, founding The Carter Center in 1982 with his late wife, Rosalynn. For these efforts, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 2002. Carter is the author of more than 30 books, most recently Faith: A Journey for All. He has been in hospice care since February 2023. [...] A devout Christian, Carter was raised Southern Baptist, though he left the Southern Baptist Convention in 2000 after disagreeing with the denomination’s stances that women shouldn’t be pastors and wives should be subservient to their husbands. He and Rosalynn attend Plains’ Maranatha Baptist Church, which they joined in 1981 and where they were both deacons. A well-known Sunday school teacher, Carter first began teaching Bible lessons while at the Naval Academy and continued throughout his life. Hundreds of people from across the country flocked to his Sunday school services at Maranatha for decades until he stopped teaching in late 2019.

[...] Carter has lived through 40% of U.S. history since the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and more than a third of all U.S. administrations since George Washington took office in 1789 — nine before Carter was president, his own and seven since.

Evidence (2024-01-01): CARTER: The editor of the Atlanta Constitution. [...] It's a 01:34:00nice insult, but it's an insult.

He's the one that told me this last night. Well the President already had a transcript of what dad said the night before so he knew what was coming and before I would ever get to see him he would already have the answer to what I wanted every time. So it worked out well. And then I did spend about six months total in Sudan and then I spent about six months in Liberia putting on the first free and fair election they had when Charles Taylor won. [...] CARTER: Well thank you very much. Thank you. It's been my honor.

Claim: There are nine states “where Biden’s name can’t be removed and no one can be added. That’s over 130 electoral votes in the toilet.” (Instagram, 2024-07-22)
Evidence (2024-07-22): President Joe Biden was the presumptive — not official — Democratic presidential nominee until he announced July 21 that he would be dropping out of the race. The official nominee will be chosen either in the run-up to the Democratic National Convention that starts Aug. 19 or at the convention itself. States set deadlines for receiving the names of presidential nominees so that ballots can be printed. Those deadlines are generally after the convention.

Evidence (2024-07-21): Replacing Biden on ticket would be 'unlawful' in some states, Johnson claims. Experts disagree. [...] Johnson, R-La., told ABC "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz that it would not be possible for some states to switch out Biden for another candidate ahead of the presidential election in November. [...] Election law expert Richard Hasen wrote that there is "no credence" to the notion that the Democratic Party could not legally replace Biden on the ticket, as he is not the nominee yet -- the nominating process generally takes place during the Democratic National Convention.

Evidence (2024-07-23): The conservative Heritage Foundation published a draft memo in June showing that if Biden dropped out, they were eyeing legal challenges in some states they believed posed obstacles to replacing Biden. Wisconsin, Georgia and Nevada were included in the memo. But PolitiFact Wisconsin found that Wisconsin’s deadline to replace Biden on the ballot has not passed. In Georgia, Gabriel Sterling, a state elections official, posted on X that "Biden dropping out will not impact Georgia ballots. As the Democrats haven’t had a convention, there is no "nominee" to replace." A spokesperson for the Nevada Secretary of State said that parties have until Sept. 3 to provide the names of their nominees for president and vice president. [...] Brian Kalt, a Michigan State University law professor, said he couldn’t imagine the Supreme Court would prohibit Democrats from replacing Biden as their presidential nominee. "But who can say?" he added. "The Supreme Court has a habit of exceeding the bounds of my imagination."

Washington state officials said they will accept a provisional certification of Biden’s nomination before the convention. And Alabama’s Legislature shortened its deadline so that Biden could qualify for the ballot there. [...] So, Democrats might have to file a lawsuit to get Biden on the ballot.
