A coin flip and random drawing determined the winner of a tied school board race in Mt. Clemens on Wednesday.
Rashidah Hammond and Alex Bronson both received 3,495 votes in the race, tying for the fourth and final open school board position.
Because of that, the Macomb County clerk had to hold the tiebreaker, which took place on Wednesday.
How did the tiebreaker work? Well, a coin toss was held, determining which candidate would stick their hand to pull out a sheet of paper that either said "elected" or "not elected."
Hammond won the coin toss, and then pulled out the piece of paper that said "elected," meaning she was elected to the board.
