Dead Woman Just Won Major 2024 Election – Nobody Can Believe This Actually Happened
As the 2024 presidential election looms ever larger on the horizon, many voters are getting ready to cast their ballots. As usual, it’s all about educating yourself on the issues and going for the best possible candidate.
But what happens when officials drag their feet regarding a sudden change in the candidates? Like death, for instance?
Well, this is what happened in a major primary race in the state of Indiana — now a deceased woman has technically won an election, leading many to question both the knowledge of voters and the system itself.
According to reports, Jennifer Pace won the primary election for a U.S. House district that represents the majority of Indianapolis. Unfortunately, Pace died of a heart attack shortly before voting took place.
Obviously, though, not enough people were aware of the fact, as she eked out a victory over her left-wing opponent.
From The Blaze:
On Wednesday, the AP declared that Jennifer Pace had won the Republican primary race for District 7, narrowly edging out second-place finisher Army Lt. Catherine Ping by fewer than 330 votes.
The only problem is that Pace suddenly died of a heart attack sometime in March after the deadline to change the ballots had already passed.
The state chair of the Indiana Republican Party will convene a caucus of precinct committee members from District 7 to settle on a replacement candidate in accordance with Indiana Code, GOP spokesperson Griffin Reid indicated to the New York Post.
On top of that, many are saying that few voters were aware of Pace’s passing as well. As one X user said:
No one knew she was dead. Last week I researched the candidates online. I read their websites and questionnaire responses. I googled them. No mention of her death. No obituaries. Given her responses I strongly considered voting for her. Local media failed again.
Local news not keeping up with current events seems to be a problem here, as one would expect the death of a major candidate to get at least some exposure.
Not only did most voters not know about Pace’s passing, but even the Republican Party didn’t seem to know. This raises some serious questions regarding the efficiency of the voting process overall, and makes one wonder if the system is really 100% functional.
Key Takeaways:
- GOP candidate Jennifer Pace won the Republican primary race for District 7 — only Pace is deceased.
- The Republican Party apparently wasn’t aware of her passing, and many voters are saying there was virtually no news of Pace’s heart attack.
- This raises plenty of questions regarding the effectiveness and reliability of the current voting system.
