WAYNESVILLE, Mo. -- With the flip of three coins, Cliff Hammock is Waynesville’s new mayor. The flip of the coins settled a tie vote after the municipal election last week.
Hammock and John Morrissey both received 330 votes. By law, either candidate could have requested a new election. Both decided to leave it to chance. Morrissey picked heads as three quarters tumbled out of a jar on to a desk. Two of the three coins were tails up, making Hammock the winner. He will be sworn in April 18.
