If they're dead on election day, they are no longer eligible to vote. Period. Absentee ballots are NOT meant to allow people to vote early, and I have some very serious doubts about the constitutionality of allowing "early voting". "early voting" to me strikes me as an invitation to fraud. I'd rather see a national holiday on election day where all businesses were encouraged to close so that the people can vote than have early voting. yeah, we'd have some loss of productivity, but it would help preserve the integrity of the voting process, and get rid of the "vote early, vote often" mentality that's so prevalent with some organizations.
Of course, I'd also like to see the laws relaxed to allow the use of lethal force to protect campaign signs. If people knew they could get shot for stealing them, they'd stop stealing them.
