Hmmm: Obama's Grandmother's Absentee Ballot

My sister and I had a conversation about this last night. Fortunately, I was very glad to learn that her absentee ballot will be counted.

From ABC News:

While Sen. Barack Obama's late grandmother Madelyn Dunham will not live to see the outcome of this historic election, her 2008 vote will count.

Hawaii Chief Elections Officer Kevin Cronin told ABC News this evening that the absentee ballot cast by Dunham before she passed away will count. Cronin said Dunham's absentee ballot was received on October 27 and found to meet the requirements of a valid absentee ballot and will therefore be counted with the rest of the state's ballots tomorrow.

Obama learned that his grandmother lost her battle with cancer early Monday. She was 86.

In case you didn't see Obama speaking about his grandmother yesterday here is the video...
