Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar announced Friday that a recount will not be initiated in the state.

Boockvar, a Democrat, said the races for president, state attorney general, auditor general, and state treasurer will not face recounts because no candidate lost by less than 0.5 percent, which is the margin that would trigger a recount.
