not sure... local rules may vary. The Green Party asked for a recount in the last election and went to court when they were told they had to pay for it, which they couldn't. They eventually won on appeal, though not before the voting machine memories were erased. Ironically, the person who said they had to pay was Attorney-General Patricia Madrid who is currently in another race that seems destined for a recount... she was ahead of wilson by 500 votes when I went to bed last night and seems to be down by about 200 at the moment.
