Madelyn Dunham's vote will count

By Daniel Solis in Barack Obama, Election Day 2008 on November 4, 2008

Barack Obama’s grandmother Madelyn Dunham passed away yesterday. She was able to vote early by absentee ballot due to her illness. The Hawaii Board of Elections has said that her vote, along with the others, will in fact be counted tonight when the polls close in Hawaii at 11 pm ET.

It will be interesting to see what Barack Obama has to say about her in his speech tonight.
