A dead woman, whose name was on the ballot paper in a local US election, has won the poll in a small town in South Dakota.
Marie Steichen, who died of cancer in September, beat a Republican rival by 100 votes to 64 and became a county commissioner posthumously.
The election list closed on 1 August, but Ms Steichen's name was kept on the list for Tuesday's election.
Ms Steichen, a Democrat from Woonsocket, defeated incumbent Republican Merlin Feistner, also from Woonsocket in Jerauld County.
