Carl Geary died a month ago from a heart attack as he campaigned for the small country town. Despite his sudden death he still polled over three times as many votes as his rival in the election in Tracy City, Tennessee.
His widow, Susan Geary, was not surprised by the election
results.
“The day he passed away, people were calling with
condolences & saying, ‘We’re still voting for him,’” she said.
Geary was known for telling the truth & served on the
city council. He received 285 votes to his rival’s 85.
“I knew he was
deceased. I know that sounds stupid, but we wanted someone other than her [the
current mayor],” said Chris Rogers, owner of the town’s Lunch Box restaurant.
“If he were to run again next week I’d vote for him again.”

“Every Christian ought to vote in every election on every
issue! Don't leave it to the worldly crowd. Vote without fail!” - Shelton Smith.
“Always vote for a
principle, though you vote alone, and you may cherish the sweet reflection that
your vote is never lost.” - John Quincy
Adams.

God has the final say.”
