Dead woman wins county race S.D. candidate gets 100 votes; official says voters knew she was deceasedThe Associated PressUpdated: 8:41 a.m. PT Nov 8, 2006PIERRE, S.D. - A woman who died two months ago won a county commissioner's race in Jerauld County on Tuesday. 
Democrat Marie Steichen, of Woonsocket, got 100 votes, defeating incumbent Republican Merlin Feistner, of Woonsocket, who had 64 votes. 
Jerauld County Auditor Cindy Peterson said she believes the county board will have to meet to appoint a replacement for Steichen. Peterson said she'll check with the state's attorney to be sure that's the process. 
Peterson said voters knew Steichen had died. 
"They just had a chance to make a change, and we respect their opinion."
