Nov 2012

State elections spokesman Chris Cate said: "If the percentage does not fit within the statutory criteria for recounts, there exists no statutory mechanism for a candidate, group or anyone else to have a recount done by the state or any supervisor of elections. Also, we will not know if a recount is within the required percentage until we receives the 1st set of unofficial returns from each of the counties involved. They are not due until noon, Saturday.
