While razor-thin election margins in American politics typically spark anticipation of recounts, there is no such process in place in Mississippi, where the Senate race is currently within a margin of a few dozen votes as of Wednesday morning.
As the Democratic challenger Scott Colom and incumbent Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith remain neck-and-neck with 96% of the expected vote in, Mississippi's Secretary of State Office confirmed to ABC News that the state has no formal recount process.
According to the secretary of state's office, candidates cannot request a recount, and a recount cannot be automatically triggered in Mississippi.
