Janet Reno, the first female U.S. attorney general, died yesterday. If she took advantage of early voting, does her vote count if she’s not alive on Election Day?
If it counts, is it fair to the people who didn’t get the opportunity to vote early and died before November 8, 2016?
If it doesn’t count, is that fair?
If I were a dishonest politician in a tight race in a state with early voting, I’d visit nursing homes right before Election Day and offer to help residents cast their votes. I’d even help them decide who to vote for, and mail their ballots for them.
