What I can't understand isView attachment 3862
“The Pennsylvania House Democrats praised voters for reelecting a dead guy.
‘While we’re incredibly saddened by the loss of Representative Tony DeLuca, we are proud to see the voters to continue to show their confidence in him and his commitment to Democratic values by re-electing him posthumously. A special election will follow soon.’”
Why was a dead guy on the ticket?
I can understand loads of people voting for their party and not thinking about exactly who was representing them, so having no idea he was dead. Most people really don't pay much attention to politics.
What doesn't make sense is that election officials went ahead with a pointless election. Either the democrats should have put up an alternative candidate, or their candidate be withdrawn and the leading live candidate elected by default, or the election postponed.
Surely it's illegal for a dead person to run?
And it looks terrible internationally when the country spreading democracy around the world makes a farce of democracy at home.
