- hga 10y agoMany states have automatic recount policies or laws if an election is too close, and that can kick in for positions other than president, and obviously every Federal House seat was up for election. That might cover Michigan, but it would not seem New Hampshire, e.g. Senator i.e. statewide race Kelly Ayotte lost by 743 votes and has conceded. Or maybe AP calls it if a candidate concedes? Guess we'll just have to wait, and for California, they've got over 4 million absentee ballots to count.... The only example I've heard of where "Ah, fuggit" kicks in is when enough ballots have been counted that the absentee ones can't change any race, and the extra labor is not considered to be worth it.
