With regards to the senate race in Alaska:

Quote:
If the candidates end up within either 20 votes or half a percentage point of each other, either candidate or a group of 10 registered voters can request a recount without paying the $15,000 fee, Fenumiai said.

An automatic recount only occurs in an exact tie.


Only occurs in the case of an exact tie? Are they kidding? Do they not have math in Alaska? Have they ever heard of probability distributions and statistics and error?
