He's got no credit here.
If the margin is greater than .25 percent of the total vote, the requesting party pays the recount feethat money get refunded should the recount change the election outcome. If the margin is less that .25, the state handles the bill. In this case, the Trump campaign would be responsible for the fee as they trail by .6 percent.
