it is the county clerks, the 83 county clerks that will be in charge of this in michigan and already, they have gotten things under way and getting ready in case it is filed. at this point it has not been filed for a recount. they have until 2:06 this afternoon to bring in a check and to petition for that recount. >> what happens if you don't get the recount done by december 13th to michigan's electoral vote? >> well, i can tell you they are already setting up to work on weekends, nights. it's quite a task to recount 4.8 million votes. >> i know, but what happens if they don't make the deadline? >> i don't know. in florida, they didn't meet the deadline and so there was supreme court action. at this point we have not had a state recount in almost a half a century so we are bareaking new ground here. >> is it possible michigan's electoral votes might not count if you don't make that deadline?
