In Iowa, coin tosses decide between Sanders and Clinton

According to an obscure Democratic party rule, a coin flip can be called upon if the result is a tie. The toss was used in a handful of precincts to decide how to award the number of delegates to the county convention.

Sam Lau, the Iowa Democratic party spokesman, noted that the coin tosses were used to determine county convention delegates, which make up only a fraction of the state delegates awarded to candidates. The coin tosses did not affect the overall result in the state.

Hillary Clinton won 6 delegates in Iowa by a coin toss. All six coin tosses went to Clinton.
