Why do the parties have to pay for a recount when it was the state

[napi21]

that screwed up? If after a recount, there is proof that there was hanky-panky, does the winning party get that money back?

1. it would make for an interesting lawsuit

I doubt they could sue the state, but if they could prove fraud they might be able to sue the person/people who committed the fraud to get the money back.
