politics in action... roll the dice, rock/paper/scissors, flip a coin...

The state Senate race in the Auburn area, which unofficially had a difference of one vote between the candidates out of almost 17,000 votes cast, has been declared a tie by the Alabama Republican Party.

According to state law, the tie will be broken “by lot” – which essentially will determine the state senator from District 27 by chance.

“It could be a roll of a dice, high card, or rock-paper-scissors,” Merrill said. “The sheriff is the one responsible for flipping the coin.” Merrill confirmed that tiebreaking scenario to AL.com Saturday night.

Pity bump.

It wasn't a tie. So obviously it was declared a tie after the recount because the Republican Party lost. Long history of how Nazi Germany used this policy

this was in the republican state primary... both republicans. having said that, if the guy got one more vote than the other, how comes he isn't the winner? *fuckin' republicans*

The "Republican Party" is whoever Trump backed. The other is a Rhino in their eyes. Fascism is Fascism no matter how it is painted

Its how these ties are often broken. Its not the first time. Lots of states have that rule.

i understand it was their playbook... what i don't quite understand–given the small numbers of votes to count (less than twenty thousand, closer to 15, i think)–is why there was a need to do it when one guy got one more vote than the other, putting him in first place? it seems as though that one person's vote 'doesn't count'

Maybe you should actually read the article instead of wallpapering the Forum with MSN headlines?

I read it…. The 1 vote is disputed as an unregistered voter, so, a tie.

Go bake a pie.

Oh...in other words...the new Republican voting restrictions worked. Fascism is wonderful isn't it?

You too may want to actually read the article.

Ties in local primaries etc are often settled by a coin toss.

Have you ever actually been involved in municipal or state elections as a party member?

Or are you just another keyboard warrior?

So apparently nobody bothered to read or understand the link in the OP. Jeebus

I believe there is often an inverse relationship between the average post length and the IQ of the poster.

Plus, Buttplug is a bored backstabber who gets wet Reporting people.

Harry should make her get a job.

In my State...we allow provisional ballots. This allows anyone that lives here that for some reason...didn't get on the role because they didn't vote in the previous primary...to have a vote. You know....their American Right. See...we put Individual Rights ahead of Politics. Fascists however....whatever it takes to delete someone that doesn't vote their way. Like you

Having rules in a democracy isn't fascism.

See...we put Individual Rights ahead of Politics. Fascists however....whatever it takes to delete someone that doesn't vote their way. Like you

And you can't put rights of the individual, an inherently political concept ahead of politics. Your claim otherwise doesn't even make sense.


You can stop pretending you're a libertarian who gives even the slightest pump of rat shit about individual rights now and go back to being an authoritarian collectivist who fucking loathes and shows absolute contempt for individual rights at every turn.

Fascist would never allow a vote in the first place.

Kinda shits all over your " People who don't vote how I WANT are FASCIST!! " stupidity right out of the gate.

Spastic leftists like you and Butters REALLY ought to learn what fascism is before you run around using it every time democracy doesn't go your way.

Again, it’s a Republican State Senate Primary in Alabama… so the state republican party sets the rules for its in-house candidate selection.

Their house, their rules.

The actual election is the one you want to watch the voting rules on, imo.

it doesn't, but then sense and yourself have the barest nodding acquaintance

and quit trying to deflect from the meaning of the actual words you typed:

it's entirely expected that the 'you' and 'your' in your post are plural in nature given the fact you've linked dribble and myself directly together. If you intended them to be read as singular, referring only to dribble, i suggest you reframe the construction of the sentence.
