So, let me get this straight. The tie in the recent East Deer commissioner seat election was decided by “drawing lots” within the walls of the epicenter of the Democratic Party’s seemingly forever stranglehold on Allegheny County politics. I wonder if James Carville orchestrated the proceedings. I should have sent in my absentee ballot, even though I have been absent for 1112 years.
