I certainly sympathize with the emotional argument, but, for me, cold logic takes over:
the point of voting is to put someone into office who will represent your voice in political affairs. If you are dead, you no longer have a voice in political affairs. Therefore, votes by dead people should not count.
Of course, as someone already pointed out, enforcing such a rule would be a nightmare. Do you have to call up every old granny to see if she's still around before tallying her vote? What if she is in a coma?
