States could enact laws to provide for automatic recounts when the margin between candidates is very close, as well as discretionary recounts that can be requested by candidates when results are outside this margin. Reasonable financial costs and deadlines should be imposed for discretionary recounts, in order to make the opportunity to challenge results meaningful.
