Tie goes to who?

by: TauntonRed

Wed Jan 30, 2013 at 14:50:53 PM EST

(A tie is broken by the Papal Conclave method. They revote until the tie is broken. - promoted by Rob "EaBo Clipper" Eno)

I saw this morning that State Committee member Barbara Bush has endorsed Kirsten Hughes. This brings the endorsement count to a 35-35 tie between Hughes and Rick Green on the eve of tomorrow nights vote. This got me to thinking. What happens if the vote tomorrow night ends up 40-40? How would the tie be broken? Just curious.

Forgot to put this in... (0.00 / 0)

Everyone else is doing this now so I should as well. In the interest of full disclosure, I am supporting Rick Green.

Time to gamble people! (0.00 / 0)

I have the over/under for SC Members showing up for the vote at 73. [Clearing throat] And I got 100 RMG bucks backing me up on this. Any takers?

Nobody (0.00 / 0)

A tie vote goes to nobody. The State Committee will continue to vote, round after round, until either the log jam breaks or Hell freezes over. That process will continue until a majority vote is reached.

In the event that there are more than 2 candidates then the "low man out" is dropped from the next round of voting. If it's just Kirsten & Rick and we're tied round after round then it could be a very long night.

Paul, would you really want me to arm Kirsten with my collection of swords, battle axes, war hammers, and flails? :)

Wasn't there something about white smoke? (0.00 / 0)

I thought they continued to vote until we saw white smoke from the chimney....Or am I thinking of something else?

...neither Rick Green nor Kirsten Hughes are infalliable! Not only do we allow non-Catholics on the MassGOP State Committee, at one time in Massachusetts we may not have been allowed on it or the Dem's SC!

A 35 to 35 tie at this point....... (0.00 / 0)

May I suggest a 'steel-cage' match in order to break the tie?
