Re: Blurple Ripple in 3,2,1...
The election probably needs to be within 0.1% for a recount to make a difference.
It is of course, worth it just in case there's some large box of ballots that was misplaced (or "misplaced") or a data entry error. But even if there were 2,000 ballots here or there, it's not enough to make up a 30k vote deficit.
BUT my impression is that there are still thousands of absentee and provisional ballots that may need to be counted, which could potentially push the race into that range.
But I wouldn't hold my breath for Gillum to make up his deficit which is significantly larger.
The real election error is that 1.5 million people should've been eligible to vote and weren't, people's registrations were purged, lines were too long, etc.
