(AP) TRACY CITY, Tenn. (AP) - A dead man has been elected mayor of Tracy City, Tenn. Carl Robin Geary died suddenly a few weeks ago. But he received 268 votes anyway in Tuesday's nonpartisan election, beating out incumbent Barbara Brock with 85 votes in the two-candidate race.
An election administrator, Donna Basham, said Wednesday she wouldn't speculate on why Geary won posthumously but noted his death had been widely reported at the time in this corner of southeastern Tennessee. She says the city council will now have to appoint a mayor to the four-year term. Brock had been appointed mayor 16 months ago when the previous mayor died. She says she thought she had done a good job but added voters wanted a return to the past.
Talk about getting votes out of sympathy? Carl Robin Geary is obviously an absolute genius. He was such a lock to win this election, the representatives of Tracy City, Tenn. didn't even take his name off the ballot after his death because they knew the members of the city would have written his name in anyway. Imagine being this broad Barbara Brock? You can't even beat a god damn guy who is six feet under the ground? Not to mention, she replaced a previous dead guy.
It seems pretty obvious to me that Ms. Brock continually hires someone to get rid of her competition so that she can be elected mayor.
