Corpus Christi rolled out an unconventional tie-breaker method to decide the fate of a City Council seat — rolling dice and drawing marbles.
This week, Corpus Christi rolled out an unconventional tie-breaker to decide the fate of its District 1 City Council seat — rolling dice and drawing marbles. In a December runoff election, Billy Lerma and incumbent Council Member Everett Roy each gathered 1,916 votes. Tuesday morning, the tie was set to be broken through a random dice roll and marble drawing.

'Mr. Lerma has No. 2, Mr. Roy has No. 3,' Guajardo announced. 'Wow, so our new council member for District 1 continues to be Mr. Everett Roy.' The two candidates shook hands, and the deal was done.
