Arizona's "Wild West Legacy"

This story kills me. It seems that after a general election and a runoff, the town of Cave Creek, AZ had ended with two opponents in a tie for a city council seat. So in true Wild Wild West fashion, they settled the election by cutting a deck of cards (as is specified in the Arizona Constitution - though I could not find it). Highest card won.

Needless to say, Norm Coleman's lawyers are already filing briefs trying to apply this Arizona constitutional quirk to Minnesota's electoral politics.
