Need One Ticket on Home Side for Georgia Game For Daughter

My family is going to the game this weekend. My daughter is planning on sitting with a friend by cramming in with a friend on the home side for the Georgia game. I need to purchase a ticket for my daughter to be able to enter the gates. Please dm or text me if you have one ticket you can sell me for the Georgia game this weekend on the home side. My cell is 601-942-3408.

Any of you vote in California?

Obviously I know you don't have to have a photo ID, but I didn't realize just how easy it is. Was talking to a guy that lives up around Napa, but also has a place here. According to him, you just walk up to the table with your name and address or name and birthday. That's it, and you get to vote.

Assuming that's the case, couldn't someone theoretically vote dozens of time as long as they have a persons information? I mean, how hard would it be to find someone's address and just go to their precinct and vote for them?
