A losing candidate for nomination, or election to a federal, state, or county office, or person supporting or opposing a ballot measure, may request a recount of the votes cast for the nomination or election to that office or passage or failure of a measure if the difference between the vote cast for that candidate and for the winning candidate for nomination or election, or the difference between the yes and no votes on a measure, is less than or equal to one-tenth of one percent (0.1%) of the total votes cast for that office. All requests shall be in writing, and filed with the attorney general during the time mentioned in section 34-2301 , Idaho Code. The state shall pay for the automatic recount of a federal, state, or legislative district office, or state measure while the county shall pay for the automatic recount of a county, city or district office or measure.
