An Indiana man accused of murdering his wife, won the Republican primary for seat on a township board.
Andrew Wilhoite, who is in jail awaiting trial, was one of three winners in that race.
In March he was charged with the murder of Elizabeth Wilhoite.
She had filed for divorce earlier that month.
Wilhoite confessed to fatally striking Nikki in the face with a gallon sized cement flower pot, then throwing her body in a creek.
Since Wilhoite has only been charged with a felony, not convicted, there is nothing that legally prevents him from being on the ballot.
