Arizona - no candidate or voter initiated recounts, but voters can contest the election results, which could result in a ballot inspection and possibly a recount. Close vote margin triggers automatic recount.

Florida - no candidate or voter initiated recounts. Automatic recount if margin is .5% or less. And Florida's vote is already certified.

North Carolina - candidate initiated recount if margin is .5% or less or 1% or less, depending on race. Neither Stein nor Clinton would qualify for a recount.
