A longtime Pennsylvania state representative was re-elected in a landslide – even though he died last month.

Democrat Anthony “Tony” DeLuca, Pennsylvania’s longest-serving state representative, was the choice in more than 85% of votes cast.

DeLuca, 85, died on 9 October from lymphoma, a disease he had twice previously fended off.


By the time of his death it was too late to change the ballot or put forth another candidate for his seat. While his opponent, Green candidate Queonia “Zarah” Livingston, accounted for more than 14% of the vote, DeLuca’s victory has triggered a special election that will be held on a later date.

“While we’re incredibly saddened by the loss of Representative Tony DeLuca, we are proud to see the voters continue to show their confidence in him and his commitment to Democratic values by re-electing him posthumously,” the Pennsylvania House Democratic campaign committee said in a tweet.

“A special election will follow soon.”

Like seriously

This is what happens when you are allowed to make your choice, for Nigeria to be great, they should allow the citizens make their own choice unhindered, not by imposing people of questionable characters, like what the so-called political parties just presented for us to make a choice from. Men who are sick to the very core, living on life support, very old and irritating .For goodness sake, this country has one of the youngest populations in the world, must we be rule by old men? Please my fellow Nigerians, we do not need people who are power drunk, even when they are not yet in that power.
