Who pays for costs associated with the recount, and what does a recount typically cost? The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania pays for it. The taxpayers pay for it. Really. In previous statewide recounts, the most recent one was actually Dave McCormick's recount because of his vote totals relative to Mehmet Oz just a few years ago, and that cost a little over a million dollars. So I would expect that this statewide recount will cost a similar amount. Historically, have recounts led to a change in who is assumed to be the winner? No, none. (07:32–07:50)
