@carolannie no, i think as a practical matter, if you did want to worry about this, you’d say a vote doesn’t count if a death certificate has been issued by the day prior to election day, something like that. i don’t actually think we want to worry about this, regardless of the merits, i think the tiny numbers it applies to would be lost in the noise. i just think it’s an interesting case to think about.

practicalities aside *should* early votes by the election-day deceased count?
