Does state law require automatic recounts?
No.

When must an automatic recount be completed?
There are no automatic recounts in this state.

Can a recount be requested?
Yes, the recount can be requested if the margin is less than or equal to 0.5%. The recount must be requested within two business days after county certification. Election officials may also request recounts under certain circumstances explained below. There are no set deadlines for completion.

Who pays for a requested recount?
State law does not specify who is responsible for costs associated with a requested recount but the secretary of state's office has indicated that the state covers all costs.[2]

Is a refund available for requested recount costs?
Not applicable. According to the Secretary of State, the state covers the cost of requested recounts.[3]

Can a partial recount be requested?
No.



With this size of a lead, though, I'd be INCREDIBLY surprised if a recount altered more than a couple hundred votes.

FL in 2000 had 1 million more votes than in GA in 2020 and the recount only affected final totals a few hundred and that was a more subjective recount (hanging chads....)

it's over 10k now. A recount seems pointless.
