Coin Flip Decides Mayor’s Race in Minnesota

WCCO reports that a mayoral race in Goodridge, Minnesota was decided by coin flip.  The town of 98 people had nobody file to enter the race for Mayor but incumbent Bob Homme and former Mayor Dave Brown were written in by residents.  Both nominees got 22 votes.

In lieu of recounting, they decided to let a coin toss decide the winner.  Brown won.

If only all politics could be this simple!
