Most states have a constitutional requirement to perform a complete 
recount if the margin of victory falls within a certain margin (IIRC 
for Florida it is 0.5%).

I haven't heard of any recounts being ordered in last week's election.

But naturally, how do they do the recount if a machine doesn't produce 
a paper record? Do they hit the TOTAL button again?

Best wishes,
