And please note the last sentence in the part you quoted -- "The casting of any such ballot SHALL NOT invalidate the election."

Yeah which means that Hawaii wouldn't have to revote. It does mean the election official is breaking the law.
And I would bet the statement from Obama HQ about the death or the obituary which will run tomorrow is sufficient proof. I don't know and it really doesn't matter, but I was pointing out that by trying to seem nice and cuddly HI election officials are breaking their own election laws.
