You’d Be Stiff Too, If You Lost
Romanian villagers have voted to re-elect a dead man as their mayor, to prevent his living rival winning. Neculai Ivascu - who led Voinesti for almost two decades - died from a liver disease last Sunday, too late to cancel the contest. But the village's loyal residents still gave him 23 more votes than his rival.
FOOTNOTE: Dead certainty.

Not a lame duck. A dead one.
He did win that one in a dead heat.
Maybe one of his promises was to obtain more land for the village and what put him over the edge was when he "bought the farm."
74wixygrad is funny!
I used to live in a state that put a dead man into the Senate. (Or was it House of Representatives?) I can't remember. He used to be the governor and perished in a plane crash a month or more before the election. He wasn't removed from the ballot and won. It made no sense to me.
I have Grave doubts about his ability to inject life into the village. Perhaps he should step (six feet) down.
Was his nickname Dodo?
