Hillary Clinton wins Iowa precinct by a literal coin toss

[ABX]

Hillary Clinton has earned at least one delegate in Iowa entirely by chance. When Des Moines Precinct 70 was split 61-61 between Bernie Sanders and Clinton, the winner was decided by a random coin toss because that's how they get the job done in Iowa:

Best Answer:  Since there is a 1/2 chance of guessing correctly for each coin toss, there is a (1/2)^3 = 1/8 chance of guessing correctly on 3-in-a-row.

This gives the odds in favor to be 1:7 and the odds against to be 7:1

Where Clintons go, cheating is never far behind. 

Anyone wondering how she's planning to win the election?

We ain't seen nothing yet!

Now it is up to 6 precincts by coin toss. Hillary won all of them. Someone take her to Vegas.
