How bad is it for dems? They spend $46K pimping dead candidate
If the living are taking a beating, may as well push the dead guy:
But one member for whom they are now spending, Democratic Sen. Jenny Oropeza, died unexpectedly last week at age 53.
State law prohibits replacing a candidate on the ballot or calling a
special election to fill a vacant office this close to a scheduled
election. So the name of the late Long Beach senator remains on the ballot against Republican John Stammreich and Libertarian David Ruskin.
If Oropeza wins in the safe Democratic district, a special election
for the seat will be called in early December when members are sworn
in. The state Democratic Party has spent $46,135 to explain that
possible outcome to voters in the 28th Senate District.
It mus really suck to be a dem this cycle.
Pushing the candidacy of a dead guy to preserve special-election rights. Whew. Give it up, clowns.
