In a highly unusual twist, deceased New Jersey Congressman Donald Payne Jr. has posthumously won the Democratic primary in his congressional district. Despite passing away from a heart attack in April, Payne Jr. was the only candidate to file for the primary, which was held on Tuesday. His victory highlights the unique election rules in New Jersey, where a deceased candidate cannot be replaced on the ballot. A special primary election will now be held on July 16 to determine Payne Jr.’s successor.
