DOOR COUNTY, Wis. -- A deceased woman received 360 votes in southern Door County school board race on Tuesday.

Marilyn Fitzgerald-White died before the Southern Door County School Board election, but it was too late to change the ballot.

Fitzgerald-White came in fourth, with the top three vote-getters winning board seats. 

If she had been one of the top three, the board would have appointed a replacement. 

Here are the election results from this race:

Southern Door School Board (Top 3)

  • Tammy Sternard – 925 (31%)
  • Josh Jeanquart – 882 (29%)
  • Carrol Toneys – 803 (27%)
  • Marilyn Fitzgerald-White – 360 (12%)

TOTAL VOTES: 2970
