The state requires an automatic, statewie recount if the margin between the candidates is 2,000 votes or less, according to state law. Candidates can also petition for a recount if certain requirements are met, including if they have an honest belief that without “fraud or mistake, the candidate would have had a reasonable chance of winning the election.”

The campaign would need to provide specific evidence that fraud was committed or that significant mistakes were made in tabulation, etc.
