“if voted” is different from “voted for”. In a true democracy it must not be traceable who someone voted for. It simply cannot be the case in a proper democracy that the people who voted for the opponent get punished for their vote after transfer of power.
The original question was whether legally they could toss his ballot if he died before Election Day. I think the state probably has the means to locate a ballot.
Aside from your needlessly hostile response — They can tell if you voted. Your ballot is linked to your name.
