[edit]Politics

In June 2009, Cave Creek attracted media attention when a game of chance was used to break a tie in a vote for Town Council. The drawing of playing cards led to the victory of 25-year-old law student Adam Trenk over incumbent Town Council member Tom McGuire. The Arizona State Constitution allows a game of chance to be used to break ties.^[6]
