Bruce Judici, a 68-year-old candidate for the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors in California, died over two months ago after falling and hitting his head during a door-to-door campaign. However, his name remained on the ballot because he passed away after the deadline for candidate withdrawal. His campaign team continued to operate and urged residents to vote for him. According to preliminary results, Judici leads with about 57% of the vote against 43% for his living opponent, Clyde Clapp. If he wins, the seat will be declared vacant and the Governor of California will appoint a replacement. Final results are expected by December 3.
