Dead Democrat Re-Elected to Pennsylvania State House

Given the unusual nature of this outcome, I have to ask. Is there any chance that dead people voted for the dead Democrat who just won re-election to the Pennsylvania Statehouse?

 

Democrat Anthony “Tony” DeLuca died Oct. 9 “after a brief battle with lymphoma, a disease he twice previously beat. He was 85,” the Pennsylvania House Democratic Caucus wrote.

DeLuca was Pennsylvania’s longest-serving state rep, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

DeLuca’s opponent, Green Party challenger Queonia “Zarah” Livingston, reportedly ran on a decidedly left-wing platform, putting her three main priorities on her website as “environmental justice,” “ending the war on drugs,” and “reducing gun violence.”

 

No Republican in that race. I’d guess there’ snot much chance of electing one in that state district.

Our thoughts and prayers to Tony’s family, naturally, but let’s unpack this rather unusual result. Tony died in early October. His opponent was a liberal Green party stooge. They had four weeks to sell themselves, and the people voted for the dead democrat, who was probably a right-wing extremist compared to Queonia “Zarah” Livingston.

It’s all relative.

Because the deceased cannot represent the people, there will be a special election to replace him. I’m guessing the Democrat who steps up will win, but can we be sure?

NH Dems have been known to elect democrat candidates while they are in jail.

Maybe an inmate should run. He/she could participate remotely, and they’d probably have a lock on the felon vote.
