4. IMO the important question is whether the gap gets narrowed to 0.5% -- currently at 0.61%

Automatic recount is triggered by 0.5%.
So although the gap is 41,156 votes, Casey just needs about 7500 votes to trigger an automatic recount.
In recent years, recounts have tended to be favorable for democrats.
