2nd Dead Democrat Wins Election by Landslide
November 10, 2022

 Tennessee state Rep. Barbara Cooper, a Democrat, died on October 25 at the age of 93, two weeks before Election Day.

According to WATN, election officials were unable to remove Cooper’s name from the ballot following her “unexpected” death.

Despite her well-publicized death, Democrat Cooper crushed her opponent, independent Michael Porter, by 7,999 votes to 2,942, according to WHBQ.

Cooper had represented the 86th state House district for 26 years, according to WSMV.

Officials argue that people voted for Copper on Election Day because they were unaware of her passing, despite apparently being her supporters.

In Tennessee, voters can only vote by mail if they have a “statutory reason.”
