If you flip a coin and it end up staning on it’s rim, is about the same odds of having a exact tie in the numbers of votes counted so far

waiting for the ACORN volunteers to show up to count the votes. 10,000 won’t be enough when they start counting.

New York uses a run-off in the unlikely event of a tie. Some local races in NY can be decided by drawing straws, but not a congressional race.

I thought the rule was that the Republican has to get 10,000 more votes than the Democrat. Otherwise there is a recount and the Democrat wins.

Is there a revote or does this get settled by the legislature or something as random as a coin flip?

I think Jim is going to make it. Maybe by a couple of hundred votes. If we assume absentees vote 80% along party lines Scott is cooked.

I will be surprised if it turns out otherwise.

If so, I’m expecting all sorts of new numbers coming off the back of the voting machines. Hopefully we got some watchers around and good protective seals to prevent resetting the numbers to “improve” the voting numbers,

You get to live two lives, the first in ordinary human fashion, the second as a deceased but perpetual Democrat voter, a kind of hell you might say.
If the Repub wins though expect the gnashing of teeth and screams in the night over, yes, stolen elections.
