IAP's Jackie Berg wins card draw

Las Vegas Sun

An eight of hearts in a card draw has given Eureka County Clerk-Treasurer Jackie Berg another four years in office.

Berg, a member of the Independent American Party, and Carrie Wright, who formerly worked in the clerk-treasurer’s office, both polled 373 votes in the November election.

So the election was decided by a draw of the cards. Before a packed room Monday, Wright drew a three of hearts.

“It was very low key,” said Recorder-Auditor Mike Rebaleati. “The card draw didn’t take more than ten minutes.”
