Earlier I posted about the unfortunate passing of Barack Obama’s grandmother Madelyn Dunham.
According to Kevin Cronin, chief election officer for the state of Hawaii:
Ms. Dunham’s absentee mail ballot was received and reviewed under the Hawaii standards for processing absentee mail ballots… She was alive at that time. Her ballot will be opened tomorrow, and it will be counted in the same way that all absentee voters would be treated under our law.
If there is a silver lining to this story that would be it.
