That was the unofficial result after the initial count. The Harris County Clerk’s office went back and checked provisional and late ballots and determined that yes, it really was officially a tie.
And to break the tie, it comes down to a coin flip. That coin flip will take place on Monday, June 30 at Pasadena City Hall at 11 a.m.
So, if you ever wanted a reminder that every vote counts, remember this race! And we’ll be sure to bring you the coin flip winner as soon as it lands on either heads or tails.
