        50.44  TIE VOTE.
         If more than the requisite number of persons, including
      presidential electors, are found to have an equal and the highest
      number of votes, the election of one of them shall be determined by
      lot.  The name of each of such candidates shall be written on
      separate pieces of paper, as nearly uniform in size and material as
      possible, and placed in a receptacle so that the names cannot be
      seen.  In the presence of the board of canvassers, one of them shall
      publicly draw one of such names, and such person shall be declared
      elected.  The result of such drawing shall be entered upon the
      abstract of votes and duly recorded, and a certificate of election
      issued to such person, as provided in this chapter.
