Sorry, but it won't count. Dead men can't vote - not even in the People's Republic of Hawaii.

Besides, how does this Athena Jones know how Mrs. Dunham voted? Did she make a photocopy of her ballot?

Stay classy, Carlos22

This is a none issue, the woman passed away for Christ' sake... Can't you people be humane for a moment and wish the Obama family condolences..

The reaction to Mrs. Dunham's passing by some on the right is truly pathetic.

Actually, in HI, it will count. It depends on the state. In most, if you pass after filling out your ballot, it still counts. Even if you fill out an absentee and seal it, then die, and someone else mails it for you, it still counts. It's been adjudicated numerous times.
