Michigan: Split decision in Webber Township recall -- tiebreaker brought out

Interesting results in Webber Township as Treasurer Kathryn Young lost her recall to Deborah Hanes after the vote was deadlocked 83-83-71. Clerk Pat Williams seems to have survived a recall vote, 98-97-42. Hopefully, we'll find out more.

Not sure what happened to the recall against Supervisor Ernie Wogatzke. 

The recall was over a host of issues, including claims of unlawful expenditures and nepotism. The lead petitioner is a former deputy clerk who claims she was pushed out of office by the three. There are also complaints about the independent auditors. 

Update: They had a three step process to break the tie:

The tiebreaker involved a three-step process:

• Both candidates were asked to think of a number between one and fifteen. The correct number, seven, was guessed accurately by Hanes.
• Following Hanes' success in the first stage, she was prompted to call heads or tails in a coin flip, which was won by Young.
• Young was then invited to reach into a hat to pick out one of two folded pieces of paper. The paper she chose read "Not Elected," and Hanes was declared the winner.
