Voters in Pennsylvania did reelect the late state Rep. Tony DeLuca in Tuesday’s midterm elections even though the 85-year-old Democrat died of cancer Oct. 9.

State law stipulates that substitutes, in the case of the death of a candidate, cannot be submitted after ballots have started printing late September, in this case.

By the time of his death, it was too late to change the ballot or put forth another candidate for his seat.
