TRACY CITY, Tenn. - A dead man has been elected mayor of Tracy City, Tenn.
Carl Robin Geary died suddenly a few weeks ago. But he received 268 votes anyway in Tuesday's nonpartisan election, beating out incumbent Barbara Brock with 85 votes in the two-candidate race.
An election administrator, Donna Basham, said Wednesday she wouldn't speculate on why Geary won posthumously but noted his death had been widely reported at the time in this corner of southeastern Tennessee.
She says the city council will now have to appoint a mayor to the four-year term.

You know this isn't all that uncommon a few years ago in my neighboring state of Missouri the people of the state voted in a dead man for state senate.
I remember that... Didn't his wife end up in that seat?
