See also Patsy Mink in Hawaii. She died one week after the primary, and the Democrats went to court to KEEP her on the ballot. She won posthumously.

Well, you'd think that if you could ever judge someone's eligibility prior to the election, that would be the time. But, seriously, did anyone challenge her eligibility after the elections?

There is a difference in deciding whether someone's name stays on the ballot and deciding if their election was invalid because they, being dead, were
ineligible on election day.
