Cave Creek Council seat to be decided by luck
By Linda Bentley | June 5, 2009
CAVE CREEK – Council candidate Adam Trenk (l) and former Councilman Thomas McGuire are pictured anxiously awaiting recount results at the Maricopa County Elections facility downtown on Thursday afternoon.
When it was all said and done, Town Clerk Carrie Dyrek forwarded an e-mail from Maricopa County Elections Director of Communications Yvonne Reed, with pictures from Thursday’s recount, stating, “Don't forget to send me some pix of the ‘draw’ - I would love to add them to this file,” making it clear the recount also resulted in a tie.
The results were subsequently filed with Maricopa County Superior Court where Judge John Buttrick ordered the election to be decided by a draw of cards using a new, unopened deck to be shuffled up to five times with the candidate drawing the highest card to be declared the winner. If a joker is drawn the person must draw again. If a tie is drawn, both must draw again until a winner is declared.
