The Election was in the Cards

Tied at 1,847 votes each, a pair of Nevada politicians settled the election the traditional way -- they drew cards. The casino capital of the world allows for high card draw as one way to settle tied elections. Robert Swetich drew the seven of diamonds -- not nearly enough to beat Raymond Urrizaga's Queen of clubs. Urrizaga won the pot -- uh, county commissioner's seat. (CNN)
