Just the latest twist in the road for this year's Presidential race.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Talk about close. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama each got 6,001 votes in Syracuse in the state primary, according to preliminary Board of Elections results.If the tie remains, will they flip a coin? A scene from this movie comes to mind. Where's Jimmy Stewart when you need him?The odds of that happening are less than one in a million, said Syracuse University mathematics professor Hyune-Ju Kim, who analyzed the state- and city-wide votes.
"It's almost impossible," Kim told the Syracuse Post-Standard newspaper.
Indeed, the tie no doubt will be broken when election officials add in absentee votes and affidavit ballots, which are similar to provisional ballots used in other states when a voter's eligibility cannot be determined.
