Obviously each states would set its own laws, but RCV likely wouldn't change the standards on resolving a tie. In a lot of places, it's a chance game — usually a coin flip to break a tie. In Texas recently they drew beads !! www.votebeat.org/texas/2025/0...
A Texas election ended in a tie. Local officials took three days to decide how to break it.
What if a flipped coin were to bounce off someone’s toe? “We had to think about a way to do this that would be fair, neutral and as transparent as possible,” said a city official.
