The Democratic race in Nevada has been called for Hillary Clinton, but as of this writing, it certainly wasn’t a blowout, with the vote roughly split 52‑48 with 70 percent of precincts reporting.
Anyone who saw video from the Iowa caucuses of ties being broken by coin tosses — six of six of which were won by Hillary Clinton supporters — will be glad to know that the tight race in Nevada didn’t rely on coin tosses to break ties. Instead, winners were determined by drawing the highest card from a deck.
Precinct 10 in Nevada was tied: Clinton won after a supporter pulled the highest card from a deck of cards

@reidepstein what an absolute joke, potential next President determined by roll of dice or high card. I guess my vote doesn't matter.

It must, or Democrats wouldn’t continually accuse Republicans of voter suppression by asking for photo IDs (which is racist, by the way).

@DavidKristoph @reidepstein this is a joke, right?

@GreenLeadr @reidepstein I wish it were. This is how we elect the most powerful person in the world.

@reidepstein What kind of a political system decides that aces are high? Ace = ONE, as the Founding Fathers intended.

@bridoc @EJXD2 @reidepstein Nah, the founding fathers would never allow a KING to be high.
