Dear Diego,<br><br>even for tie-breaking procedure, I recommend a deterministic method.<br>The advantage is that computer can validate a long counting process<br>and obtain the same result when they use a deterministic tie-breaking
<br>procedure.<br>Thus as many independent recounts as needed should lead to the same result,<br>killing any fraud attempt.<br><br>Stéphane Rouillon.</blockquote><div><br>Yes, i agree. What i want to say is that random selection is acceptable only if not exist other way to break tie. Recounting is naturally the first preference. In Brazil, if ties persist, the oldest candidate wins.
