Atlantic Beach commissioner race to be decided by coin flip if tie remains unbroken

After both machine and manual recounts of the Atlantic Beach Commissioner Seat 4 race were completed, the Duval Supervisor of Elections announced a coin flip may decide the winner on Friday.

The commissioner’s race, between Lisa Herrold and Jennifer Lagner, has been deadlocked since Election Day last week.

The supervisor of elections, Jerry Holland, said overseas ballots postmarked Election Day or earlier have until Friday to be counted.

If no overseas ballots are received by Friday afternoon, the tie will be broken by a game of chance, per Florida law.

Holland told Action News Jax that the game of chance, in this case, will be a coin flip.
