Dead Man Wins Election

A candidate won election to a North Carolina county board in 2006 - despite having been dead for a month.


Not this type of dead man

Sam Duncan, who died a month before the voting for the election in 2006 started still had his candidacy active. He eventually polled 12000 votes more than his opponents to gain election to Union County's soil and Water Conservation Board. The County officials knew of Duncan's death before the election but nobody had informed the voters.
