For future elections, there should really be some sort of tie-breaker to prevent, as much as possible, it going to a run-off. I guess that's something for Congress to do in their next terms. Wink

Just to confirm, the run-off won't include write-ins?

Yes the only votes that are cast for Blair and NCY will be counted as valid.
Good. That'll hopefully make things less confusing...

There were three tickets being voted on. Unless the second preferences of the third ticket split perfectly, I don't understand why everyone is freaking about a tie.
I think the issue was that in certain elections in the past, if it's tied then a tie-break has been to count how many Yankee voters put Blair as a preference and vice versa. The most second preferences at this stage would win the election.

I'm here to assume the presidency should that be necessary.
The GM should simulate the position until there's someone to fill it. Tongue
