It seems like a dead guy wins an election every couple of years. This time it's in Vampire infested Transylvania which seems plenty appropriate. Neculai Ivaşcu, the long time mayor of Voineşti, died on the morning of the election and unsurprisingly won when all the votes were counted. Ivaşcu was mayor in Voineşti for more than 20 years. Reuters says that the laws were unclear as to how a dead candidate should be treated so he remained on the ballot and the polls stayed open. Romanians, being the Dracula loving sort that they are, promptly voted for the dead guy. The authorities have given the election to the runner up, which will probably anger Ivaşcu, causing him to rise from the dead and walk the earth in search of vengeance.
Here is a picture of Ivaşcu, its not clear whether it was taken before of after his death...
In 2000 Mel Carnahan's zombie corpse was voted into the U.S. Senate over John Ashcroft. Carnahan became the first undead Senator in history, although there have been no fewer than three zombie members of the House of Representatives... seriously.
McCain's a Romanian?
