States around the country are divided on whether to count votes from people who cast an early ballot and then die before Election Day. Still, ballots in those states could be mistakenly counted if election officials don't realize a voter has died before Election Day. "One view is Election Day is Election Day, and if you aren't with us on Election Day, your vote doesn't count. The other is that if you're in the early voting window, then your vote does count," she said. Her ballot arrived at her local elections office a few days before she died, according to the state records.
