Calif. Republican Loses to Dead Democrat

<snip>

Exhibit A: even though Jenny Oropez died last month, the Democrat easily won re-election to California’s State Senate, defeating John Stammerich, her Republican challenger, by a 58-35 margin.

Oropeza died from complications due to a blood clot on October 20, which was too late to replace her on the ballot.

“The Republicans are trying to take unfair advantage of Jenny’s tragedy,” the mailer said. “They suggest that voting for Jenny will only result in a costly Special Election. I am asking you to vote for Jenny Oropeza. If a Special Election is called in a few months, you’ll have the chance to thoughtfully elect your Senator for a new four-year term.”

Sammerich pointed out the mailer‘s careful attempt to frame Oropeza’s death only as a tragedy, which he says is misleading. A special election will not be held to fill the seat, which means Sammerich still has a chance.
