Because he needs to be conscious . It doesn ' t work automatically . Hence Yamamoto and Ichibe would blitz him before he could turn to Jilliel or Jilliel second form .

If the margin of votes is less than a threshold 2000 votes in MI the state pays for an automatic recount . There are rules for when a candidate or citizen can request a recount , but in those cases they have to pay for it . It can be single or multiple precincts , or statewide , and the cost is per precinct . Some or all of the money would be refunded if the recount changes the results of the election . s t a t e r e c o u n t l a w s s e a r c h a bledatabasestatesMichigan
