if final margin is less than 1000 votes, don't you think we all would need a recount? I thought the Dems handled their recount in the primary extremely well.

[Comment From bcm bcm : ]
compulsory recount is .005% margin which at this point is about 1000 votes. shumlin has a 1003 vote lead PLUS the 1200 vote net he has in bennington. ....he's outside the compulsory recount margin by quite a bit. Dubie would have to be pretty boneheaded to ask for a recount.... so... lets recount!

Stardust, the body language showed all.. and I had republicans I was chatting with who disappeared about 20-30 minutes ahead of the decisive numbers coming out.. so the campaigns had the numbers before they were made public by the media.. the media has to check everything, but it seems they may have deliberately pushed numbers to make it appear closer than it was
