What happens when two candidates tie in a primary in New Hampshire and neither of them wants a recount?
That scenario played out this week.
After the polls closed in Conway, New Hampshire on Tuesday, September 13, two Republican candidates for state representative each received 445 votes in New Hampshire House District 1: Mike DiGregorio and Mark Hounsell.
To break the tie, lots were drawn at the New Hampshire Secretary of State's office.
The state does this by using a leather bottle with numbered wooden balls. Each candidate picks a ball, the balls are placed in the bottle, and the bottle is shaken up. The first ball to roll out of the bottle determines the winner.
Who is favored to win the race to be the next governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts? Election forecaster Sabato's Crystal Ball thinks the Democratic Party will win the seat.
The election forecaster put Massachusetts in the safe Democratic category along with California, Illinois, New York, and Maryland.
