Two tied Republican primary races in Hawaii were settled by pulling names at random, an unusual outcome that unseated sitting lawmakers.

• Two GOP primaries ended in exact ties, so the winners were picked by a random drawing of names at the state Capitol.
• In House District 43, covering Kapolei and Hilo, Sheila Medeiros was drawn over incumbent Kanani Souza.
• In Senate District 20, covering Ewa Beach, former lawmaker Bob McDermott was chosen over Senator Curt Favela.
• Both sitting incumbents lost their seats purely by chance, with McDermott himself saying the coin-toss-style process disenfranchises voters and the race should have gone to the general election.

Outlook: McDermott now faces Democrat Marcus Owens in November's general election, where actual voters will decide the seat.
