Obama's Grandmother's Absentee Ballot will be Counted by State of Hawaii

By GottaLaff

Silver linings appear when and where you least expect them. Something very right is going to happen:

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.

Toot gets the last word. As it should be.
