Yes, and we can vote from our Obamaphones. We're the only ones who can do that.

Dead Republicans for Trump...

Thank goodness Trump has the never-ending support of Breitbart, Scalia and Osama bin Laden.https://media2.giphy.com/me...

Unfortunately, the law says that Jerry votes when his vote is "counted" on election day, and on that day he will be dead.

Missouri Revised Statutes Section 115.293.12. If sufficient evidence is shown to an election authority that any absentee voter has died prior to the opening of the polls on election day, the ballot of the deceased voter shall be rejected if it is still sealed in the ballot envelope.

So the question is, how do they receive "sufficient evidence"? There will be an obit in the local paper on Sunday. Are they smart enough to check obits? Frankly, I doubt it. I worked in the local County Clerk's office 40 years ago, and there was a noticeable absence of higher brain functions.

It has occurred to me that this particular situation may account for a certain percentage of the reports of dead people voting that I have read about in previous election years.

My info source works for the auditor office in my county, so it's legit. They cross-reference ballots with obituaries and monthly reports from DHS. If you can hold off on reporting the death, then I guess it could scootch in under the radar.

The Pilgrims of Plymouth Rock fame walked into completely deserted villages with crops planted and in the ground and fresh graves of bodies buried with food when they landed. They praised god for giving them this bounty never realizing that the Native American population that lived there had been wiped out by disease brought by the European fishermen that had proceeded them. And so it was up and down and across the continent.

That's right: your cancer is not about you, it's all (like everything else) about Donald. It's amazing how in his melon-sized orange head everything is about him. Goddamn twat.

I would say if the postmark on the ballot shows as being mailed before the date on the death certificate the vote should count. Technically Jerry voted when he filled out his ballot (he was alive.) What happens after you vote is inconsequential. What if you vote in person at 8:00 AM on November 8 and you die on the same day before the polls close? Your vote still counts and so should a ballot mailed in during the early voting period.
