Some solutions would be coin toss

If that ever happens to me, I call heads in advance.

Tails is more likely, statistically.

Actually, it all depends of the coin.
For instance, due to the engravenment, the 2 Euro coin is more likely to fall with the backside up, since it is heavier in the front side.

Can you imagine the outrage if a Euro coin was used to decide the American Presidency? ;)

I'm still thinking about that poker match. Politicians are really good at bluffing. BTW this thread is awesome. Good point Alcon. That would be the funniest thing ever. I think it should be a quarter - specifically the quarter of the state in contest.

What if the state is one that the quarter isn't made for yet?

Use floridas. It is at least symbolic of screwed up elections.

Up to the state law.
Some solutions would be coin toss, poker game, governor breaks the tie.

I can just picture Al Gore and George Bush, flanked by crowds of secret service guards and reporters, playing a game of poker to decide which one of them gets to be president.
Gore: Alright, George. I'll raise you Dallas.
Bush: And I'll raise you South Dakota.
Gore: Damn!
