Impact analysis
The direct taxpayer cost is likely minimal—mostly routine certification and a brief tie-breaking procedure—so this is not a big budget issue.
Voters get a clear winner for the seat, and both candidates get a defined process instead of a lingering tie.
No groups negatively affected, though the candidate who loses the tiebreaker will be disappointed.
