Subject: RE: BS: Ted Stevens convicted, may be re-elected
I lost the page where I got this:

"A recount is possible. Stevens did not issue a statement, and campaign aides did not respond to calls for comment.

"In Alaska, the losing candidate or a collection of 10 voters has three days to petition for a recount unless the vote was a tie, in which case it would be automatic. If the difference between the candidates is within 0.5 percent of the total votes cast, the state pays for the recount, to be started within three days of the recount petition. The state Elections Division has 10 days to complete the recount. "
