Looks like no automatic recount.
"According to Alabama election law, a recount is automatically triggered if the margin is less than or equal to 0.5 percent. The losing candidate could submit a written waiver of the recount." source

Note how write-ins outnumber the winning margin.

(90,769 posts)14. I didn't expect him to but I think it's still going to be Jones when all the Moore caterwauling ends
I'm sure lawyers (both local and national) for Jones are already in place because I'm sure they expected this move by Moore in the event of a loss. How could they not?
No way was Moore going quietly and the republican machine within Alabama plays dirty & racist politics. Evidenced by the DMV closures.
