[EL] deaths after voting by mail

[Doug Hess]

Let's say you vote by mail and then kick the bucket before ballots are
counted or before election day. Assuming election officials notice this
about you and spot your ballot, do laws or regulations address counting
that ballot? I assume that if you were eligible to vote when you did, that
dieing before ballots are counted doesn't matter.

If an election is entirely by mail and you can get ballots 30 days in
advance (is that standard?), just how many adults go six feet under in that
period. I'm wondering--for Friday amusement partially--if the number or
percentage is enough that the dead can determine an outcome?
