If the person managed to cast the ballot while they were alive, then the vote should count. Should elections officials have to try and figure out which ballot this man cast, and not count it?

George Stanley, of Coral Springs, was sitting on a chair waiting for his wife to finish voting Tuesday when he fell to the floor, said police Capt. Jeff Maslan.

Stanley was taken to Coral Springs Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Stanley's wife, Judy Stanley, said her husband was undecided as they went to the polls.

"No one will ever know how he voted," she said. "He took that with him."

Stanley was a West Point graduate who served as an Army captain in the 1960s, said his son-in-law, Richard Dix, of Connecticut.
