LUCK

I'm confident that Dona Highstone wasn't happy when she heard that incumbent Katherine Dunton, her opponent for a seat on a rural school board passed away, but it had to cross her mind that she had a good chance of winning the election.

She was wrong. When all the votes were counted it was a tie.

No problem, right, the election commission would just give the seat to the living candidate, right? Not exactly. Following protocol, they flipped a coin. Dona, the living candidate called heads—it was tails. She lost.

Now the school board has to find a replacement for Dunton, the deceased winner.
