US Voters Reelect Tony DeLuca, Dead Lawmaker by Islie: 10:56pm On Nov 09, 2022
By Seun Adeuyi

Democrat Tony DeLuca, a Pennsylvania state representative in the United States who died last month, was “reelected” during the midterm elections.

DeLuca died October 9, 2022, after a brief battle with lymphoma, a disease he twice previously beat. He died at the age of 85.

Fox News quoted the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette as saying he was Pennsylvania’s longest-serving state representative.

In a tweet, Pennsylvania House Democrats said, “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. A special election will follow soon.”

Some observers speculate that many voters chose DeLuca knowing he was dead in order to force a special election rather than vote for his third-party opponent, according to local reporter Charlie Wolfson.

DeLuca’s opponent, Queonia 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.

About eight US politicians of Nigerian descent were elected in the ongoing midterm elections in America.

This is not the first time it will happen in the USA. Aslong as the State laws allows it, then no big issue.

By the time of his death it was too late to change the ballot or put forth another candidate for his seat. DeLuca’s victory has triggered a special election that will be held on a later date.

like democrats like APC

In 2018, brothel owner Dennis Hof won a seat in the Nevada senate as a Republican despite dying the month before. Unlike in Pennsylvania, however, his victory did not trigger a special election: under Nevada state law, county officials could appoint a Republican to take Hof’s place for the entire term.

If only Nigerians voted Funsho Williams out of respect to him.

Just Maybe....we won't know of anybody called Tinumbu because he will be forced to go into extinct as even the dead is valued more than him.
