The Hill
The late Rep. Donald Payne Jr. (D-N.J.) won the Democratic nomination for another term in the House on Tuesday, weeks after he died in office.
The ballot in New Jersey had already been set by the time Payne died of a heart attack related to complications from diabetes in late April. He was running unopposed in the Democratic primary representing New Jersey’s 10th Congressional District.
A special election to choose someone to serve the remainder of Payne’s current term was already set; Gov. Phil Murphy (D) set the primary for next month and the general election to occur in September, allowing the winner to serve the final few months of the term. more
Hmmmmm.
Either the democrap voters in NJ are stupid, or the cheaters are even stupider.
I would contend that a dead congressman is among the safest of politicians where the general public is concerned.
Finally. A Dem representative who won’t lie to his constituents.
finally a good democRAT!
I seem to remember some years ago Mel Carnahan died in Missouri when he was a senator. he won, and his widow was appointed to take his place. The Carnahans in Missouri were like the Kennedys in Massachusetts.
Old school union – I’ll just leave this here…

Not sure where that came from (actually I do) but here is the one I intended to post –

The only good democrap representative is a dead democrap representative.
Back in the seventies, I believe, there was a pol (dem or repub, doesn’t matter) whose heart beat its last beat while in the act of sexual coitus with some who-er. It was coitus interruptus.
I believe such ladies are hardened to the realities of life, so I think she probably just rolled him off, found his wallet, took her earnings (at least) and went on her way with a shrug.
Well… at least she left!
Donald Payne is a statesman. The world needs more statesmen.
He voted for himself too.
