There is no automatic recount but any registered voter may request one. A voter may file a recount request within five days beginning on the 31st day after a statewide election.
Before going there, I'm estimating that there are more than 5K uncounted votes in CA-13. Many need cured and voters have until 12/3 to cure them. Some voters will have skipped downballot races and some will not cure their ballots so the 5K estimate is more than the number of actual voters we will see. Still, there is still plenty of hope for Gray catching up. Of note, in Merced County (the place with the most uncounted votes in CA-13), and LA and Orange Counties (CD-45), over half of the uncounted votes need cured or will not be counted.
What's the recount process like in CA? Is it automatic when it's super close or does someone have to request it?
