A tied Hawaii state House primary that was settled by drawing a name from a basket is now headed to the state Supreme Court, leaving the seat in limbo.

• Incumbent Kanani Souza and challenger Sheila Medeiros each finished District 43 with the exact same number of votes.
• Medeiros was declared the winner after the chief election officer pulled her name out of a basket.
• Souza has now asked the Supreme Court to review the race, pointing to a state report showing two more ballots counted than envelopes received in one precinct.
• Election officials call it human error and bookkeeping, not fraud, but say a perfect tie makes even a small mismatch a problem.
• Because ballots are separated from their envelopes to keep votes secret, there is no way to trace the extra ballots back to either candidate.

Outlook: The Supreme Court will decide whether to take up the challenge, and until it rules the district has no settled winner.
