Right, but votes don't count until the 2nd correct?
If the person isn't alive on the 2nd, isn't it similar to some of the "dead people voting" issues we have heard about?
I think the strongest argument regarding not counting the votes is the potential for fraud. How do you know if the person really voted? How do you know if someone else didn't fill out the ballot and send it in? There is absolutely no way to verify the vote as legitimate as is possible with an absentee ballot filled out by someone that is still alive.
This one is a toughie because I think both sides of the argument have valid points.
