For the first time ever, the winner of Florida's Duval County elections, Richard Arthur, was decided in a game of chance.
No military overseas ballots came in for the Neptune Beach City Council Seat 4 race by 7 p.m. Friday. Arthur faced challenger Rory Diamond because the two remained tied at 1,448 votes apiece.
The winner was decided at 7:30 a.m. Saturday.
There were three rounds to the game of chance and the rules were very specific.
Here is a look at the basic rules:
In the first round, there was a drawing of names to determine which candidate calls the coin toss. The candidate who prevailed in round decided whether he would like to be first or last to draw a ping-pong ball in round three.
In the third round, 20 ping-pong balls will be placed in a bag numbered 1-20. The first candidate will draw a number and then place the ball back in the bag. The second candidate will then draw. The highest number wins.
Arthur pulled number 12 and Diamond pulled number four.
