The electoral commission in the state of North Dakota, USA, faces an unusual electoral problem: the deceased won a seat in the US Congress. David Andal, 55, died of complications from COVID- 19 in October. At that time, however, it was already on the ballot for the United States Congressional elections, which were held in parallel with the voting of the voters who chose the President of the United States, and there was no way it would be erased your name.
