Dead senator re-elected in California | Posted | National Post

Voters in Southern California would rather re-elect a dead woman than a Republican.
Democrat Jenny Oropeza swept a Southern California district in the race for Senate on Tuesday with 58% of the vote, but won’t be returning to office — she died of complications from a blood clot less than 2 weeks ago.

Reminds of the "Cadaver Synod" around 890 CE ... Where Pope Formosus was dug up, seated on a throne, trialed and charged by the Christian church for some kind of blasphemy I think. He was then thrown back into his grave... Seriously, the guy was rotting and shit on the throne, and some Bishop pointed at him and yelled GUILTY.

That's what he gets for being his own lawyer.
