How North Carolina conducts ballot recounts

Several North Carolina primary elections are expected to go to recounts, including one in a closely watched legislative race. 

Senate leader Phil Berger trails his GOP primary challenger, Rockingham Sheriff Sam Page, by 23 votes out of more than 26,000 votes. That means Berger is eligible to request a recount. 

WRAL's Paul Specht and Will Doran breakdown the process and how it impacts this huge race in North Carolina politics.
