Dead Politicians

Voters in the town of Bisbee, AZ stuck by their incumbent city councilman — even though he died nine days before the election.

Bob Kasun easily defeated Jeff Harris on Tuesday by a margin of 246 to 83. The 79-year-old four-term councilman died March 6 of lymphoma and renal failure.

Councilwoman Luche Giacomino, who survived a recall attempt, said she was happy to win but especially pleased that Kasun was not voted from office.

“I am just tickled to death that Bob won,” she said.

And so was Bob.
