While control of two branches of the federal government is the most important issue at stake in America this week, control of an NBA franchise and a WNBA franchise is also on the ballot—at least the ballots of three arbitrators tasked with deciding the future of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Minnesota Lynx.

Retired Hennepin County (Minn.) District Court Judge Thomas Fraser, retired Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Kathleen Blatz and Wilson Sonsini partner Joseph R. Slights III will preside over a confidential arbitration proceeding intended to resolve the disputed ownership of these two franchises. Current Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor and a group led by Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore both claim they’re the controlling owners.
