While Gettelfinger had the authority to make the changes in VEBAs and the jobs bank, he does not have the same authority to change other aspects of the existing contract without a vote by active workers.

To that end, it's typical for candidates to send advance teams of lawyers to precincts and states where the vote is expected to be close. The idea is that the legal groundwork for a recount and the financing of it can be laid down ahead of time.
