Florida And Alabama Elect Dead Candidates

Florida Democrat Earl K. Wood (pictured) and Alabama Republican Charles Beasley died weeks before the election, but still won.

Wood died on October 15 from natural causes at age 96, during his campaign for a 12th term as Orange County Tax Collector in Orlando, Florida…

Beasley, 77, died on October 12, possibly due to an aneurysm, while trying to reclaim his old seat on the Bibb County Commission in central Alabama.

Beasley’s name also remained on the ballot and he won about 52 percent of the vote. His Democratic opponent, incumbent Commissioner Walter Sansing, took the loss especially hard.

Although, the Beasley family probably took their loss harder.
