Yes, I think that their vote should count. The way that they voted could affect their family and friends.
-
No, I think they should have to be alive on the actual voting day.
-
if they were alive at the time of the postmark it should be a valid vote
-
Supposing I write you a check today and you deposit it only 10 days later.IF by that time I am dead it does not mean the bank will not honor the check. Similarly if a person casts their ballot and passes away before the counting it does not make their vote invalid.

I think it should (they certainly wont be voting in any future elections).
