Hey BillJohnson,

Oregon votes entirely by mail, right?
I'll make this really easy for you: The thing you say has to happen, it has already happened.

Automatic election recounts in Oregon are triggered when the margin between the apparent winning candidate and the next candidate is 0.2% or less of the total votes cast for both candidates, or in the case of a tie.
This rule also applies to ballot measures, unless a measure requires 50% voter turnout and that threshold is not met.
All recounts in Oregon must be conducted by hand by a counting board composed of at least two county electors registered with different political parties.

In the May 20, 2025, special district election, more than 25 races across multiple counties were determined to be close enough to trigger automatic recounts.
The following recounts were initiated:

Baker County: West Eagle Valley Water Control District, At-Large position
Clatsop County: Seaside Rural Fire Protection District, Director, Position 2; Arch Cape Domestic Water Supply District, Commissioner, Position 2
Coos County: Bunker Hill Rural Fire Protection District, Position 3; Shelley Rd-Crest Acres Water District, Position 3
Crook County: Juniper Canyon Water Control District, Position 4
Deschutes County: Laidlaw Water District, Director, Position 3
Grant County: Grant County Transportation District; John Day Rural Fire District; Monument Cemetery District; Long Creek School District, Position 5
Gilliam County: Rock Creek Water Control District Director Zone 2; Rock Creek Water Control District Zone 3 (recount completed June 11, 2025)
Klamath County: Two director positions in the Modoc Point Sanitary District
Lake County: Christmas Valley Rural Fire Protection District, Director, Position 3; Christmas Valley Park and Recreation District, Director, Position 5
Lane County: Dexter Sanitary District, Director, Position 3; Dexter Sanitary District, Director, Position 5; River Road Water Control, Directors, Positions 1"5; South Lane School District, Director, Position 7
Linn County: Denver-Conner Water Control District, Position 6; Little Muddy Creek Water Control District, Position 3; Little Muddy Creek Water Control District, Position 5
Tillamook County: Ballot Measure 29-183; Nedonna Rural Fire Protection District " Director, Position 4; Beaver Water District " Commissioner, Position 4; Twin Rocks Water District " Commissioner, Position 4; Cloverdale Sanitary District " Director, Position 3 (all recounts completed)
Umatilla County: McKay Dam Fire, Position 5; Milton-Freewater Valley Ambulance District, Position 5 (tied write-in races)
Wasco County: Tygh Valley Rural Fire Protection District, Position 1
In the November 5, 2024, general election, two contests required full automatic recounts: the City of Gladstone, Councilor, Position 3, and the City of Molalla, Councilor (three positions).
These recounts were conducted after certification of the election results.

All recount processes are conducted by hand, with official observers permitted to observe without interfering.
The results of the May 2025 recounts were finalized with no changes reported in some cases, such as in Lane County.
