ALMENA, Wis. (WRN) — The newest member of the Almena Board of Trustees was decided by a coin flip.
Last Tuesday’s election had three seats for Almena village trustee, with five candidates on the ballot. As results were tallied, the third and fourth candidates each had 65 votes, a tie.
Village clerk-treasurer Kim Bauer said the candidates, Derrick Koehn and incumbent Kathy Rockow, were contacted and met for a coin flip. Rockow chose heads. The coin flip was tails.
Rockow could call for a recount, but Bauer said no one is challenging the results and the coin flip stands.
