You gotta have a way to decide an election if the votes are the same for the leading candidates.  Cards is as good as any if the law says it is decided by random drawing. 

We use ping pong balls with numbers in Hong Kong.  It is not as infrequently used as people think.

Some states flip a coin.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

My cousin won the office of county prosecutor on a coin flip.  It saves the cost of a runoff.

Actually, objectively speaking, would California be the worst state?  You know, what with the bankruptcy and all?
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.
