In Montana, a House race has ended in a tie.
And the outcome of that particular race decides whether the Democrats or Republicans have the majority.
If the Democrat wins the race, they will control 50 of the 99 seats in the Montana House.
Under Montana law, the Governor breaks ties, and as a Democrat, Schweitzer's choice is obvious. (Under Oregon law, I believe a coin flip would break the tie).
Of course, there will be a recount, so nothing's settled.

There are 100 seats in the Montana House. Under their law, if the House is a 50/50 tie, control of the House goes to the Governor's party. That was the case in the last session. This time, a Democrat lost to a Constitution Party candidate, but control would still hinge on race mentioned above.
