Hawaii's high court will decide whether a coin-flip-style tiebreaker can seat a state lawmaker, leaving the District 43 Republican primary result in limbo.

• The primary ended in an exact tie, and the elections office broke it by drawing a name out of a container.
• Kanani Susa, the candidate who lost the draw, is challenging the result and wants the election itself reviewed.
• Her case points to a two-ballot gap in one precinct and says the office did not follow the proper tiebreaking steps.
• The court will also weigh something bigger: whether picking a legislator by chance is constitutional at all.

Outlook: Arguments are set for this week, and a ruling could either confirm Sheila Maderos as the nominee or force a redo of the tiebreak or the race.
