Had I lost by 1,485 votes, I would call for a recount, too. But unless there were some serious screw-ups, that is way too many votes to make up in a recount of a congressional district.

Thank God that the GOP controls the U.S. House of Representatives and Hill won't be able to steal the seat. The last time there was a really close House race in Indiana the Republican challenger was certified as having beaten Congressman Frank McCloskey, but the Democrats in the House did their own "recount" of the absentee ballots and as soon as McCloskey took the lead they stopped counting and seated McCloskey.

Was this one of the counties where the straight party ticket voted Libertarian?
