Dead men don't write checks. If I write a check today, and die tomorrow, that check is still good. If someone writes a check today, but dates it in the future, and they die, then that check is no good (unless it falls thru the cracks). So, I think voting is the same: if the ballot is signed before they die, it's good, but if they dated it, say, election day, then it's no good (unless, again, it falls thru the cracks). I don't think "they" check who's dead or alive after election day... Heck, they don't even have enough people to count the things in a timely matter let alone checking everyone's life status.
