Who Says 1 Vote Doesn't Matter

In last Tuesday's election in a North Las Vegas council member race, the race was decided by1 vote.
Now, comes word that there may have been a ballot that was cast in the wrong district, possibly making the outcome a tie or a 2 vote win.
From the Las Vegas Sun: The close race for the Ward 4 seat on the North Las Vegas City Council might have gotten closer.
The fiercely contested race was decided Tuesday by a single vote, with Wade Wagner ousting incumbent Richard Cherchio. On Sunday, Sun columnist Jon Ralston reported election officials have discovered one voter cast his ballot in the wrong ward and a poll worker missed the error.
The voter hadn't changed his registration information, a source told Ralston.
Ralston reported that North Las Vegas hired Matt Griffin, former deputy secretary of state in charge of elections, to present a recommendation to the city council on Wednesday. The council could call for a new election, a new vote in that precinct or allow voters in that precinct who legally cast ballots to vote again.

Before the city does anything rash, have the recount and see what happens. Then if the race is still a tie, they have to decide the old fashion way- a duel in the desert. No, they need to cut the cards and see who gets the highest card.
So, even in small, relatively unimportant elections, 1 vote still matters.
