What happens if, God forbid, Webb loses by more than .5%?

I know there's an automatic recount if the margin is less than 1/2 %, but what if Allen wins by more than that? The Virginia election page has the margin at .56% with 96.81% of precincts in.

Does Webb have to challenge the results in court? Would the courts let him do it?

Can anybody from VA (or elsewhere, for that matter) fill me in on this?

1. i think the law says recount if it's less than 1%

2. Not gonna happen - Webb will lead (but within recount rance)

Within 5,000 with very good outstanding districts

3. I heard 0.5%, but that's a moot point now.

Webb is within 5,000 votes. We have another Florida on our hands.

4. But with a Dem Governor for a change

5. ooo, I forgot about that

might work out in our favor after all!
