With a race this close I’m guessing there’s no runoff because there are only two candidates, not three (or more) that could swing votes to one or the other if there was a runoff?

I wonder if Walker will ask for a recount?

Runoffs generally happen when no candidate gets a majority (> 50%) of the vote. This shouldn't happen if there are only 2 candidates in the race.
