Dead Democrat Beats (Live) Republican in South Dakota
PIERRE, S.D. - A woman who died two months ago won a county commissioner's race in Jerauld County on Tuesday.

Democrat Marie Steichen, of Woonsocket, got 100 votes, defeating incumbent Republican Merlin Feistner, of Woonsocket, who had 64 votes.

Jerauld County Auditor Cindy Peterson said she believes the county board will have to meet to appoint a replacement for Steichen. Peterson said she'll check with the state's attorney to be sure that's the process.

2. There is precedent for this
Remember John Ashcroft losing the Missouri senate seat to Mel Carnahan, 3 weeks after Mel died in a plane crash in 2000?
