The reason for your confusion is this: you think you voted for a particular person to take the office. You did not. You voted for a specific elector. Regardless of the death of another person, that elector is still your states designated voter. I would suspect that elector would only have his/her conscience to guide him in casting his vote. In all likelihood, that elector would vote for the surviving member of the ticket. However, that would not be binding on the elector.
