Politics Comes to a Dead End in Alaska
Just when you thought the political landscape could get no stranger...
Election officials still don't know how to resolve this one. Perhaps I'm over-simplifying the issue, but really, shouldn't just about anything do it? Like, maybe the first one to count to one scould be declared the winner. Maybe the one who can recite the Pledge of Allegience...or the one who can recite anything could win.ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A dead woman won re-election to a school board
in rural Alaska after her opponent lost a coin flip meant to break an
electoral tie.Katherine Dunton, who died of cancer on Oct. 3, the day of the local
election, was re-elected to the Aleutian Region School District board
after her opponent, Dona Highstone, called "heads" on a coin toss that
landed "tails," state and local officials said.
Just another example of the strange world of politics and what goes haywire when Man is in control.
