My mother turned 100 in mid September. She has also voted, but by mail in ballot. Does anyone know if these elderly voters' ballots count if they are not still alive by Nov 4th? Must they live to cast the vote or live through midnight of election day? I'm delighted for them both, but unsure how it works.

The ballot counts as long as it was received in time.

Then I'm awfully glad I mailed mine in at the first opportunity: Heaven forbid I should be hit by a car tomorrow with my ballot still laying on the table! Only sort of kidding...

exactly the way I feel. I actually voted about two weeks ago, the day I received the ballot.

I have no idea - might depend on state law, but I would think that a vote once cast should be a valid vote. Of course, I am not a Republican state election official.....
