Right?

Like I said, our election system is very, very flawed. There will always be problems.
Yeh, but then people like me, who are voting absentee would never determine the outcome of the elections....they would be decided before the ballot even arrived on US soil.

I can definitely see both sides of this issue, however, if the person filling out the absentee ballot dies, the vote should be counted...how would you ever be able to check and see if all voters who cast a ballot by absentee were still alive? That is a logistical nightmare.
