Elephant Ears

This blog is dedicated to the political happenings in the Valley and Southwest Virginia. As the the name implies, this blog will have posts based on what is heard by this elephant's (GOPer's) ears. It is also a great treat to get while at the county fair or a carnival.

Tie-Breaker

The RTD has a story today about the rules in the event of a tie after a recount. In the 68th HOD recount, the winner is chosen by drawing a name out of a hat if there is a tie. In the event of a tie in the AG's race, the General Assembly will vote on which one wins.
Apparently a name is drawn out a of hat for all races except statewide (governor, LG and AG), even Congress on President.
Just thought it was interesting setup.
