That depends on where you are. Laws cover that. Since early voting and absentee voting are allowed only for a specific period, redefinition of the electorate is not infinitely flexible, and the law in Florida, where Reno lived, specifically allows this: "The ballot of an elector who casts an absentee ballot shall be counted even if the elector dies on or before Election Day."
Well, it seems like a bad policy to me, but if it's done in a regular way as prescribed by law, and within limits, that seems at worst a tolerable option. I'm not dead sure that harm is done by extending the period of decision; I just mistrust it intuitively—and having studied mathematics gave me an appreciation of the gap between intuition and proof. My intuition could be misleading me in this case.
