Recount rules in the key battleground states

When election results pour in from across the country Tuesday evening, there will likely be various close and hotly contested races that could end in a recount.

The presidential race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris will likely come down to seven states considered “toss-up” contests, and any of those states’ results could end up in a recount. Here are the laws for recounts in each of the key battleground states.

Arizona: In the Grand Canyon State, the law for mandatory recounts only goes into effect if the top two candidates are within 0.5% of each other in the final results. The threshold is higher than the previous 0.1% required in 2020, thanks to a law passed since the last presidential election.
