South Dakota state law governing municipal elections dictates that lots are drawn in the event of a tie in a city election. The Sioux Falls mayoral race is headed for a likely recount after more than 36,000 votes were counted in a runoff election Tuesday. Christine Erickson leads by just two votes over Jamie Smith as of Wednesday night. The Sioux Falls City Council is expected to certify the election results next week, at which point the losing candidate must file a written request for a recount.
