Dead men walking...

[Bravo]

Dead candidates continued to enjoy electoral success, with at least four winning hard-fought races in November. Katherine Dunton tied in an Alaska school board race but, though dead, won the coin toss and was elected. Glenda Dawson won her Texas state House seat, thanks in part to a colorful campaign mailer that went out a month after her death, touting her achievements (but making no campaign promises). And Sam Duncan won a seat on a North Carolina county soil and conservation board, which was such a low-key race that even some of his backers were surprised to learn after the election that he had died in September....

Wow. Actually dead. There are plenty of elected officials with similar levels of charisma, but I've never heard of a genuine corpse winning.
I can see something like that happening here with local (municipal) government, nobody knows a thing about it and voting is compulsory. Nobody would notice anyway.

That's awesome! Funny part is, they are the most honest politicians we've got!
