Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt on Thursday told reporters that the results of the state’s Senate recount will be publicly released on Nov. 27.

Schmidt ordered the recount on Wednesday after the results of the race between incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Casey and challenger Dave McCormick fell within the 0.5% threshold that immediately triggers the recount. McCormick was projected as the winner by the Associated Press, but is only leading Casey by 29,000 votes.

The Pennsylvania Department of State reported that Casey has received 3,350,972 (48.5%) votes and McCormick got 3,380,310 (48.93%),

Schmidt said the counties must begin the recount by Nov. 20 and the process must be completed by noon on Nov. 26, per NBC News. The results must then be reported to the state by Nov. 27, and will be published after confirmation. The process is expected to cost the state over $1 million.

The recount comes as Casey declines to concede the race. McCormick has declared victory, however, and traveled to Washington, D.C., for new Senate orientation this week.
