Do we know if Thune will (he should) ask for a recount? I know that the state law says that a losing candidate, provided they lost by <2%, can ask for a recount.

There is no automatic recount in SD.

Fox News reported that there'll be a recount if the difference is less than 500 votes. Beyond that, Thune can ask for a recount, but if he does, he can't sue. Fox saying he may have to choose between asking for a recount and going to court.
