A dead woman gained enough votes to advance to a runoff for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate, leaving political experts puzzled and her party wondering what to do if she wins. Jacquelyn Morrow Lewis Ledgerwood died of a heart attack at age 69 on July 15, too close to the election to have her name taken off the ballot.

She received 21 percent of the vote Tuesday in a field of four, finishing second behind an air conditioner contractor who got 46 percent.
