Well, Trickie Dickie, I would have thought that being dead MIGHT be a disqualification- but not to a Democrat it seems.

Eminently sensible. What would you have done Jucie Brucie - handed it to the Tea Party by default? Well silly me, of course you would.

It may however offer a small hope that the Tea Party will have started to look like fules on the hill already by the next ballot time.

I don't know. Sounds like at least a reasonable option to a live Republican.

just kidding, Bruce. Love the candied ginger by the way.

I am familiar with the large "dead" vote in some cities ( Like Chicago, under Democratic 'machine'), but here the deceased WON the election.

Deceased Democrat Defeats Republican for State Senate Seat

Special election expected within the next three to four months.

AP With 100 percent of the precincts reporting, deceased candidate, Democrat Jenny Oropeza, defeated Republican John Stammreich in the race for State Senate in the 28th district.

Oropeza, 53, died on Oct. 20. Because her death was within 10 days of the election, her name remained on the ballot.

The governor now has two weeks to declare her seat empty, and schedule a special election within three to four months. This allows Democrats a chance to find a new candidate to run for Oropeza's seat.

A week after her death, Democrats sent out mailers to residents, calling for voters to still reelect Oropeza. The mailers featured Secretary of State Debra Bowen and Democratic Party general counsel Martha Escutia.
