1. I vaguely recall hearing that the threshhold was 2%...

But it's so vague I might just be making shit up.

2. 1/2 % triggers automatic recount.

We are way beyond that. Cheers!!

5. They just said on MSNBC that a recount is still possible, but Stevens would have to pay for it.

Which seems unlikely, given his legal status.
