Isn’t a recount mandatory if the % spread is less than 0.5%?

Hey, Cyber....you're right. I saw a blurb on TV this morning that a recount in this case is mandatory....and depending on a lot of factors could take a few days or up to a month.

We can be sure that Franken will let the recount proceed. He's about 800 votes behind. It's possible in a race with a couple million votes, he could make those votes up. Not likely, but possible.

Plus, these few votes can be easily made up by stealth fraud. "Lost ballots" can suddenly be found, etc.

Plus, liberal lawyers will fly into Minneapolis to use every wile and trick in the book to get Franken certified as a winner.
