Current Mood:
curious
early voters, what if...
If someone votes early (or absentee), and then dies before election day, should their vote be counted?

should it be counted philosophically or legally?
legally, yes, it is counted. AFAIK, Obama's grandmother filed an absentee before she died and it was counted (well, to the extent that Hawaii needed to count them - with such a large margin, they might not have bothered to count the absentees).
