A congressional race in Minnesota has been upended following the death of Legal Marijuana Now Party candidate Adam Charles Weeks, 38, who was in a three-way race against a Republican challenger and the Democratic incumbent for the seat. His death will now trigger a special election.
Under Minnesota law, the death of a major party candidate results in an election being delayed. Because the Legal Marijuana Now Party received over 5% of the vote in a 2018 state auditor race, Weeks was considered a major party candidate, reports Politico.
