MS town election decided by coin toss after votes tied
HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss. — A Holly Springs alderman’s race was decided by a coin toss after both candidates received the same number of votes.
Sandra Hodges, known to folks in Marshall County as the “Sunshine Lady,” was ecstatic after a coin toss declared her the newly elected Ward One Alderman for Holly Springs.
“They asked me to pick heads or tail and I picked tail, and it landed on tail,” said Hodges.
The election was held at Holly Springs’ City Hall with Kaylon Freeman and Sandra Hodges both tied 154 votes to 154 votes each.
