WHITEHORSE The final seat count in the Yukon election could be determined by the drawing of lots today if a judicial recount confirms a tie in a battleground riding. Elections Yukon applied to the Yukon Supreme Court Thursday after the official count put two candidates in the riding of Vuntut Gwitchin in a deadlock of 78 votes each. Chief Justice Suzanne Duncan will conduct the count in the Whitehorse law court. Pauline Frost, who was a Liberal cabinet minister, and the New Democrat s Annie Blake and are vying to represent the electoral district. If the court upholds the stalemate, then Elections Yukon says a drawing of lots would take place immediately after the recount.
