I believe it depends on state laws. But in that case, the winner had (already) died. Therefore the Governor could appoint a replacement for his seat. The wife was selected by the state's Governor.
Stevens could win, and then resign. Palin might nominate someone else to take the seat. Partisan politics are more important than the voters or nation.
