North Charleston, S.C. - For a 93-year old North Charleston woman, casting her vote was a matter of life and death.
>snip<
“She made her mark, and we put it in the envelope, my brother and I walked to the mailbox, it was 11 o’clock Wednesday morning and I said ‘Mom its in the mail, you’ve done your thing, Barack’s going to win,’ and she kind of smiled and it was kind of a deep sigh, a sigh of relief, and in less than an hour later, she died,” said M. Fitzgerald.

Too bad she had to go out voting for a socialist, loser.
Voted and died, not necessarily in that order.
Forgot the barf alert.
I hate to tell them this but if you die before election day your vote does not count. Someone in that area please call the local Board of Elections and inform them of her death.
You should keep your DUish comments to yourself. You make us all look like cretins when you talk like that.

I think I recall reading an article saying that early voting or abesntee ballots submitted by voters who die before election day are valid.
I am sure it doesn’t happen often enough for it to make a difference. I’m more worried about dead voters casting their ballots from beyond the grave, without their knowledge, with the help of ACORN.
ABC news...what else did you expect.
A heart touching story about McCain/Palin? Yeah, right, that that will ever happen.
Who’s she voting for next week?
I may be mistaken, but I believe that ballot can be challenged. The voter has to be eligible on election day, and the dead are not eligible voters, no matter what the rats say.
She'll vote again before this is over.
The march to a tyrannical Communist regime knows no right.
This is typical of all the “save us” movements where a charismatic leader is chosen ... and turns the place to a complete and utter hell. Germany, Russia, China, Cuba, Argentina, Venezuela, Cambodia, etc.
The problem is that Obama will legalized up to 30 millions illegal immigrants who will, of course, vote Democrat in appreciation. We will NEVER get rid of Obama and the Dems.
We should only refer to the Dems as the Communist Party or the National Socialist Party from now on.
Seems that there MUST be a law about how the voter must be ALIVE on the day of the election...
Oh well, her vote counts NO MORE or NO LESS than mine :P
... And she will continue to vote in future elections, if ACORN is still in business.
She was 93. One has to question her state of mind at the time of voting. I think voting like driving, should require frequent testing in later years to determine fitness.
Her vote doesn’t count for much of anything; SC is not in play and will go McCain.
