Coin flip decides Texas city council race

SEGUIN, Texas (AP) — The only thing separating two city council candidates near San Antonio is a coin flip.
Jeannette "Jet" Crabb and Ben Amador were both running for city council in Seguin. They finished tied after a Dec. 18 runoff, 141-141. So city Mayor Don Keil decided the race Thursday by flipping a coin.
Crabb and Amador each received slips of paper — one that said "heads," one with "tails." Then Keil threw a silver dollar in the air. It landed on the table as tails. Crabb won.
She was immediately sworn in to begin a four-year term.
The Texas Election Code allows ties to be settled by a "casting of lots."
