  1. Presidential recounts must be initiated on a state-by-state basis. There is no federal mandate that a recount must happen, nor does a mechanism exist to initiate one at the national level. So if a presidential campaign wants a recount, they must specifically ask state governments to do one. As for when a recount can be asked for, and who can do the asking: It's different in every state. Some states allow for citizens themselves to request recounts; others require candidates directly involved in the races to make the request. https://mic.com/articles/160446/how-does-a-us-election-recount-work-the-deadlines-history-and-rules-for-recounts
