AP 
<http://www.newsobserver.com/2014/08/25/4095752_recount-requested-on-missouri.html?rh=1>: 
"Those results show that voters approved the right-to-farm amendment by 
a margin of 2,490 votes out of nearly 1 million cast, a victory of 
one-quarter of a percentage point. Missouri law allows the losers to 
request a recount whenever the margin of victory is less than one-half 
of a percentage point."
