We had our town voting last month (voting the budget, selectmen, police

line was out the door (an hour wait to check in). In case you think your
vote doesn't count, we elected a new police chief by 28 votes (out of
3000+)

We had a city council election last month--and it was a tie. To determine the
winner, they put both names in a hat and drew one out. How hick is that???

There was a town somewhere a few years ago that had to go to a hand of
poker. That was the official tie breaker by law there.


That would HAVE to be somewhere in the American West!!!!

I am thinking West Texas or New Mexico but I honestly don't remember
