A dice roll instead of a coin flip was considered the fairest as both sides can participate.
An election in a small Wisconsin town came down to a literal roll of the dice.
Village clerk Heidi Teich told the candidates the election will be settled via a game of chance as per the state election code."It's drawn a lot of interest because it's such an unusual thing," Ms Teich told the BBC. "For it to be settled with a children's game is kind of unique.""Am I seeing this right?," Mr Bell remembers thinking upon seeing the 256-256 count.
Half a dozen supporters reached out to Mr Zoschke lamenting the loss. One regretted that their teenage daughter was unable to cast a ballot due to an out-of-town doctor's appointment. Another could not get off work before the polls closed.
