A machine recount will occur if the election results for the top two candidates are separated by more than 150 votes and less than 2,000 votes. A manual recount will occur if the difference between the top two candidates is less than one-quarter of one percent and the two are separated by 150 votes or fewer. State law authorizes the top two candidates to negotiate an alternative to a manual recount procedure if the race is separated by 150 votes or fewer.
