Film mogul Tyler Perry said Monday that he flew back to his home state of Georgia so he could vote in the state’s Senate runoff elections.
The Atlanta resident tweeted that the absentee ballot he requested early last month never arrived despite a shipping confirmation.
Voting rights advocate Stacey Abrams, a former Democratic gubernatorial candidate, responded and encouraged him to vote in person if able.
“Just tell the person at the check-in table that you wish to cancel your ballot & vote in person,” she wrote.
