With a public poll showing a statistical tie between the top Democratic Philly mayoral candidates, Laurenjmayk shows us what would happen if next week’s primary is too close.
The only independent public poll in the Philadelphia mayoral race showed a statistical tie between the top Democrats, with five of them breaking away from the rest of the nine-person pack.
In the unlikely event Philadelphia mayoral candidates end up in a tie, the city’s next leader is left up to chance. Philadelphia uses an old “Horn & Hardart” coffee can to draw ballot positions for elections, a tradition with a city hall spectacle as candidates or designated representatives pick balls with numbers on them out of the can to determine where they’ll appear on the ballot.
“This is a race that could be decided by a couple hundred votes,” said Rendell, who endorsed former city controller Rebecca Rhynhart in the Democratic primary. Democrats in Philadelphia outnumber Republicans by about seven to one, putting focus on the primary election in the city.
