Dead Mayor Wins Election
In a Romanian village, a dead mayor is better than a live one. At least, it is according to voters.
The mayor ran the village for almost two decades. He died just after voting started. Guess what? He still won by 23 votes. Officials had decided to keep the election open in case the opponent won. He didn’t, but authorities gave him the position anyway.
A political party is calling for a new election.
This reminds me of something that happened in my home state of Missouri. The governor died and voters elected his wife into office instead. Voters are strange.
