Default Coin Toss Decides Goodridge, Minn. Mayor's Race

Coin Toss Decides Goodridge, Minn. Mayor's Race

Quote:
A coin toss has determined the winner of the mayor's race in the tiny northwestern Minnesota town of Goodridge.

Incumbent Bob Homme and former Mayor Dave Brown each got 22 votes. Instead of finding the ballots and recounting the 44 votes, they agreed to decide the winner with a coin toss.

It already was a strange race in Goodridge -- population 98 -- with no one filing to run for mayor. Brown and Homme were both write-ins.

To break the tie, each tossed his own coin. If it was even, meaning two heads or two tails, Homme would win the two-year term. If it was odd, meaning a head and a tail, Brown would win.
What are some of the other options?... (add you own)...

1) Pillow fight

2) Sack race

3) Pumpkin Seed Spitting

4) Red Light - Green Light

5) Truth or Dare

At least there was no animosity.
Minnesota is kind of strange. I think it's all that talk radio.
