Recount results in tie?

Matt Richard just posted the following on Facebook:

Well True Believers... 'THE VOTE' came in and resulted in me tying for 8th place in the Primary election this past Tuesday.
I have 2 choices: Withdraw or continue on the ballot for Nov 8th
What say you?

I asked yesterday if there would be a recount. It seems there has been. The election may have just gotten tougher for challengers trying to unseat incumbents. Again, blame my wife. See the Facebook thread here.

In a perfect world, the primary would have taken the top six, giving the anti-incumbent vote a better chance to take a seat at the table. Of course, the rules were probably written by incumbents.
