The 93-year-old World War II veteran who captured national attention after a photo circulated of him casting a ballot from his hospital bed has died. Under state law, Frank Tanabe's vote would not count. Still, the photograph of Tanabe filling out his absentee ballot with the help of his daughter last week became an inspiration to the country after his grandson Noah Tanabe posted the picture on the social media site Reddit. link |

The original story went on to say that his family was moved to an interment camp in CA and he still enlisted. RIP. One hope that this story inspires people to get out an vote! |

Wait a minute. His family was interned during WW2, he fought and now his vote didn't count? What is wrong with this picture? |
