"I am very grateful to the counties for working as hard as they did to provide the unofficial returns to us in a timely manner," Cortes said. "Based upon the information we received from each county, an automatic recount is not required."
Act 97 of 2004 provides that any statewide race or ballot question where the margin of victory was less than one half of one percent of the total number of votes cast for that office or ballot question would automatically trigger a recount in all 67 counties.
