The Jack of Spades Breaks a Tie in NV Election

In a 2002 Esmeralda County Commission (Nevada) open seat election, Dolores “Dee” Honeycutt and R.J. Gillum tied 107-107. To break the tie, the candidates drew cards. Each drew a jack, but Gillum’s jack of spades defeated Honeycutt’s jack of diamonds. #VotingMatters #2018Midterms #Nevada

Candidate Loses Race by 1 Vote After Failing to Vote Himself

In the 1988 Massachusetts Governor’s Council Primary for the 3rd District, Robert Kennedy defeated Herbert Connolly by 1 vote (14,716-14,715), and it was his own. Connolly arrived at his precinct shortly after the polls closed and wasn’t able to vote. #VotingMatters #2018Midterms #Massachusetts
