Marge: Mmmm you really should have voted Homer.
Homer: Meh, wouldn’t have made a difference.

Truly the hero we need, though not the one we deserve.
They found another ballot for Yancey that had previously been ruled spoiled. It’s a tie.
Now it comes down to a coin flip.
Surprise, surprise.
I really hope it’s not just the R’s saying “surely there’s at least one more ballot we can question”, because that would be typical.
Election officials could call up that voter with the “spoiled” ballot and ask, what was your thinking here? (What were you thinking?!?) Let the person cast a verbal ballot.
Yeah I know, there are rules.
It’s a secret ballot; it doesn’t have the voter’s name on it:
They couldn’t check who voted using that ballot if they wanted to.
Yeah, that’s true. I just like the idea of asking a person, in essence, who they want to win the seat and which party they want to control the state House.
