The dead may vote in Chicago, but in some parts of the country they run for office, and win.
It happened in North Carolina:
MONROE, N.C. (AP) — A candidate for a county board who appeared in newspaper ads the weekend before the election sailed to victory with 12,000 votes - despite being dead for a month.
HOUSTON?Republican state Rep. Glenda Dawson is dead, but she?s not gone.
She easily defeated her living Democratic opponent Tuesday night.
That victory came two months after dying from a brief illness.
And even up in Alaska:
JUNEAU, Alaska ? A coin toss made a dead woman the winner of a rural school board race.
Incumbent Katherine Dunton and challenger Dona Highstone were tied after the Oct. 3 election in Adak, the same day Dunton died.
Even with Dunton’s death, state law requires a tie vote to be settled by lot after an official recount.
Division of Elections Director Whitney Brewster flipped the coin to determine the winner Friday. Highstone called heads, but the coin landed on tails.
I for one welcome our new zombie overlords and remind them that, as an up-and-coming blogger, I am available to spread propaganda, or assist in the acquisition of tasty brains.
