Confirmed: The dead can vote

While Sen. Barack Obama's late grandmother Madelyn Dunham will not live to see the outcome of this historic election, her 2008 vote will count.

Hawaii Chief Elections Officer Kevin Cronin told ABC News this evening that the absentee ballot cast by Dunham before she passed away will count. Cronin said Dunham's absentee ballot was received on October 27 and found to meet the requirements of a valid absentee ballot and will therefore be counted with the rest of the state's ballots tomorrow.

Obama learned that his grandmother lost her battle with cancer early Monday. She was 86.



Not to mention that Obama's flight to Hawaii off campaign funds was possibly a violation of FEC rules, given that he didn't campaign there.

I have no idea why either of these are allowed, but apparently some Democrats are in favor of it. Wonder why.




Nice to see you are staying classy mocking the recently departed Grand Mother of Barak Obama. Fortunately for you I'm going to lock this so you won't have to endure the much deserved derision you'd receive if I left it open.

We already have a thread where you're dragging dirt on Obama's dead grandmother; we don't need another.

So what exactly is the problem, troll?

I know I'm being a hypocrite here by bumping this thread but I recommend nobody responds to this he is only looking for attention.

This is nothing new. each state has different rules governing how to count absentee ballots. Some states count them as they receive them and if a person was still alive when it was received it counts. Other states you have to be alive on day the vote is counted to have your vote counted. If people long dead voted, I don't any democrat would think its ok.

Yes, it's a damn shame her perfectly legal vote will count.

He suspects that she voted for Obama. In reality, we don't know. She might be the one who puts McCain over the top in Hawaii.
