This is a rather ghoulish article. If I sent an absentee ballot and died before the election, I’d want my vote to count too. It’s certainly not something I’d make a big deal about.
Indeed. With so many votes being cast in the names of people who have been dead for years, and still counted, election officials have much more urgent uses for their time than to be picking out and discarding ballots from people who died between the time their absentee ballots were postmarked and the opening of the polls on Election Day.
