Per my morning radio, a candidate can call for, and receive a recount.
If less than 0.5% the state pays.
If greater than 0.5%, the candiadate must pay.
Therefore, if he is willing to pay, he must have found some discrepancies overnight.
I am sure he can ask for a recount if he pays. The question is why bother? It would take a miracle to make up 1.5%. I suppose he thinks there is no downside. It’ll just cost money, but if he’s got money in the bank, why not use it?
