Coin flips have decided two tied elections in Idaho.

On Tuesday, Barbara Lowe won a coin toss and a seat on the White Bird City Council in west-central Idaho.  Lowe and Paul Sand each received 26 votes in the November 6th election.

Then on Wednesday, Glen Loveland won a coin toss and a seat on the Heyburn City Council in south-central Idaho.  Earlier this month he tied incumbent councilman Dick Galbraith with 112 votes.

In each of the coin flips, the city clerk performed the duties.  (Lewiston Tribune, AP)
