Al Schmidt: “We've had eight recounts since 2020. Three were declined, so…”

“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. So We've had eight recounts since 2020. Three were declined, so the recount never took place. The rest were carried out and they did not in any way impact the outcome. And again, what is the deadline for the recount to occur? So counties are currently engaging in the recount right now. They have to complete it by the 26th of November and report to us by the 27th.” (07:59–08:12)
