Dead man running: Deceased congressman wins election in New Jersey
The congressman had a fatal heart attack in April
By Matthew Richter Fox News
Published June 4, 2024 7:53pm EDT

Many elections are marked by reports of dead people voting, but a dead person being elected is far less common. Yet that’s exactly what happened Tuesday when Rep. Donald Payne Jr. won a primary in New Jersey’s 10th Congressional District.

The beloved congressman and member of the Congressional Black Caucus suffered a fatal heart attack April 24, according to the New York Post.

The filing deadline for primary campaigns in New Jersey was in March. Congressman Payne was the only candidate to register.

That makes perfect sense.  A dead candidate has a lock on the cemetery vote.

The scary thing will be whether he actually takes the oath of office and starts voting on legislation.

If the dead can vote, why not elect one of their own?
