It's official: Brian Nathan is the newest state Senator from Hillsborough County.
State election officials on Friday said his margin of victory is above the threshold needed to trigger an automatic recount.
That margin was about 405 votes — just five votes above one-half of a 1% difference needed for a recount.
He will take over the Senate district that was vacated when Jay Collins was appointed as lieutenant governor.

Both Nathan and Republican challenger Josie Tomkow have said they'll run when the seat is up again during November's general election.
On Monday, the Hillsborough County Canvassing Board will certify Official Results and conduct a post-election audit to verify the tabulated results.
