Voters in the US state of Pennsylvania re-elected longtime representative Anthony DeLuca by a landslide, despite the politician having died a month prior to elections.

DeLuca won 85% of votes cast, triggering a special election that will be held on a later date.

Pennsylvania’s longest running representative died early in October from lymphoma. By the time of his death, it was too late to change the ballot or put forth a replacement candidate.
