starts right now. >> every vote counts, especially in a race where just a few dozen may decide who gets a chance to represent hundreds of thousands of people in the bay area. good evening. i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley. >> thanks for joining us. more than a week after california's primary, all ballots that are going to count have now been received. but the counting is coming down to the wire for several races. >> that's right. let's start with the race to replace retiring representative anna issue. this is district 16, in the us house. it includes most of the south bay and peninsula stretching from pacifica to los gatos. >> sam liccardo is in the lead. he'll be one of the two candidates in november's general election for second place. it's really a nail biter when adding up the latest votes from san mateo and santa clara counties. evan lowe just took the lead from joe simitian. he's 59 votes ahead, so it's slim. of course, simitian's lead has been diminishing over the past few days. >> abc seven news south bay reporter zach fuentes joins us live from san jose. >> zach, how are the candidates

handling this race? >> well, as far as liccardo? he's very happy to be in a clear first place. now the two candidates fighting for second place are saying, let's wait and see what the results are. those results you just gave, by the way, came in just under an hour ago. different from what we reported earlier at for these updates coming in fast, but all the eligible mail in ballots, like you said, have been received. of course, every count is going to matter in this race, but we heard from the candidates and a political expert about what happens next. sam liccardo, evan lowe and joe simitian have been leaders in the race for the district 16 congressional seat. the spot is opening up for the first time in more than 30 years, as representative anna eshoo retires, with liccardo leading lowe and simitian by a relatively wide margin. the associated press already called the election in his favor, but the battle for second place is far from over. whoever wins will advance to november's runoff to run against liccardo. liccardo says he's grateful to be in the lead, and says the tight race for second place shows the importance of voter turnout. >> the reality is decisions are

going to be made for you if you're not making the decisions. so i encourage everybody to get out there and vote in november because as we're sitting here from this march election, this is going to be decided by a very small number of votes, whoever my opponent is, simitian was confident on election night, we are clearly in the top two, but now it's not so clear what we're seeing now is a little bit of the votes that come in later. >> those those last minute procrastinators who who get their ballots in, you know, at the last minute, more likely to be younger voters, less engaged voters. and that seems to be trending toward evan lowe. >> in a statement released tuesday, simitian said every vote counts and every vote has to be counted. that's the nature of our process and that's as it should be. having said that, we were in the top two on election night and have been every day since, so i'm confident and optimistic, but we'll wait for the results. evan lowe also issued a statement that said in part to me, no matter the ultimate outcome, the closeness of this race shows that your

vote truly matters. your vote can have a real impact on who represents your community. depending on how close the votes end up being between the two candidates. professor of political science melinda jackson said one of them could request a recount that they would have to pay for. >> if it goes in their favor, then they get paid back. we don't have an automatic recount process in california where when it's within a certain margin, it's automatically triggered for a recount. so i think it depends how close it is at the end of the day, whether either these candidates will choose to do that. >> yeah. but again, it's really close right now. both san mateo and santa clara counties have to have complete final official results by april 4th. then the secretary of state certifies the election results april 12th. so we're going to have to wait and see what happens. for now. right now, live in san jose. zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> all right, zach, thank you so much. and there's another tight race coming down to the wire. state senate district seven, which includes contra costa and parts of alameda counties.

berkeley mayor jesse arreguin is the clear frontrunner. the battle for second place is where it's interesting. about 1000 votes separate. jovanka beckels and dan kalb, the top two winners in the primary, move on to the general election in november. >> the only statewide measure on the ballot is still too close to call and the margin is shrinking . now. proposition one would use billions in bonds to provide housing for the homeless and the mentally ill. currently, it's 50.1% for yes, the number of yes votes outnumbers no votes by about 10,000. so it's very close. all ballots had to be received by yesterday, one week after the election, in order to be counted. ballots are still being processed. there are roughly a million to go at last check. voter turnout is up to 31. now that's about average close to it anyway. turnout in a california primary election has been running about 33% over the past 20 years, and you can find local race results from california's primary election on abc seven news.com. a judge in georgia has dismissed some of

the election interference charges against former president donald trump. the six charges dropped have to do with soliciting elected officials to violate their oaths of office. most of the charges from the 41 count racketeering indictment remain, however, affecting trump and several other defendants. the order does not mention the ethics allegations against fulton county da fani willis. following revelations of an affair with a fellow prosecutor. she has denied that there is any conflict of interest or that she benefited financially from the relationship. a ruling on that issue is expected by the end of the week. >> well, it is getting windy in some areas and it's going to stay that way for a while. >> it is. it's enough to trigger a wind advisory, actually. abc seven news meteorologist sandyha patel is here to show you what that means. sandhya where you live. >> yeah. chances are you're going to experience strong, gusty winds at times near you or over you. dan and anna, i want to show you a live picture right now from our mount tam cam, you are noticing just a beautiful view of ocean beach, but that

green light after 11 days after the cpuc says waymo updated their passenger safety plan. >> it was truly a slap in the face. >> now, less than two weeks later, san mateo county supervisor david canepa says the county has filed an appeal with the enforcement arm of the cpuc. >> what we're asking is for them to really consider what we had said in our initial letter, just this communication of working with public works on infrastructure, working with the fire department, working with the sheriff's department. to this date, waymo hasn't talked to our department heads. it's like, beyond the wild west, which is why south bay state senator dave cortese is working to pass a bill that would give local governments control over autonomous cars instead of the state, a bill already formally supported by san francisco, los angeles, oakland and san mateo counties through their own

resolutions that we need to create a system right away, you know, to do just modest regulations, modest controls, ordinary normal traffic controls to make things safe for our community. >> that's only going to happen if we get our local cities involved. >> waymo says they will continue to engage in cpuc process and remain committed to our long tum approach of dialog and partnership with city officials. waymo said they have not expanded their service here on the peninsula just yet, and there is no set timeline for those plans, either. in daly city, lena howland abc seven news. >> meanwhile, cruise driverless ride services and testing permits are still suspended across the nation after a crash in san francisco last october, where a woman was dragged 20ft by a cruise driverless car after she was hit by another car. >> allegations of unsafe working conditions are creating controversy at a san jose housing project intended to help the unhoused population, the city's largest modular housing

about the extensive building issues. they also voiced concerns over wage theft. >> my opinion is that it's simply greed. it's simply greed, you have bad actors and their bottom line is to make as much money as possible. unfortunately at the expense of the taxpayer. and ultimately the, the unhoused, the most vulnerable in our society. >> at a wednesday press conference, mayor matt mehan once again pushed the importance of solutions for the unhoused, including quick build communities, despite a city press release saying the project would be opened in april, mehan now says the opening day has always been this july. he says the role of the city is to audit issues and make sure they're fixed. >> we need to make sure every unit is safe and clean and dignified. if any of those units do have mold or water damage, the contractor on the site will have to replace them. if anybody has not been treated fairly in terms of their hours or pay or whatever it might be, we will ensure that the contractor makes that right. >> velarde hopes that's true for

march 14 or 3 143.14 write pi as in the mathematical constant 3.14, represented by the greek letter pi. it's the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. the first major observance of pi day was in 1988, at the exploratorium in san francisco. happening tonight. the finale of feud. capote versus the swans star tom hollander, is almost really unrecognizable as the one and only truman capote. reporter alicia vitarelli, from our sister station in philadelphia, talked with him about what it took to truly embody the famed writer and socialite. >> this is what a writer does. >> he's quite an extreme character. truman. so it's quite you go. oh well. here goes. >> award winning actor tom hollander says to become truman capote. he became a student of

the author's idiosyncrasies. >> wait. go back. we're talking the governor's wildebeest wife. >> you know, you need to get the voice and the mannerisms, but you've also got to be able to be relatable. as a human being. >> tell me everything. >> capote was the best friend, the confidant of manhattan's female elite. he called them the swans. hollander says if this looks like fun, it was. >> i just loved walking down the streets with central park in the background. it was brilliant. >> i would invite all my swans and it will be a kind of grand reunion. >> and what a cast, i thought to myself. if there's one lunch table where you'd like to get a seat, this is a good one. >> there's, >> that's true. yeah. what an incredible array. >> from demi moore to diane lane, molly ringwald and calista flockhart, the ensemble is packed with star power. >> oh, my goodness, this is chloe sevigny, and now i'm acting with jessica lange, and.

and now i'm rolling around on a chaise long with naomi watts, and we're best friends. >> hollander says playing capote was a lesson in unapologetic confidence, swagger, because there was a kind of, you know, machismo to truman's gayness. >> it's because he did it with such kind of attitude. there's something to be learned there. the defiant courage of be yourself, be yourself. >> but capote's lows were low. the writer's demise came when he dished out the swans dark, dirty secrets in esquire. >> it's a cautionary tale, isn't it? there was a, you know, a gaping void inside him, which he was filling with, with, with the wrong stuff, whether it was alcohol or high society or name dropping or gossip or lying, when actually maybe he should have been working because he was so brilliant. >> never let the truth get in the way of a good story. >> alicia vitarelli. abc seven news. >> his transformation for the

world was something else. well the finale of feud capote versus the swans airs tonight at ten on fx and tomorrow on hulu. disney, of course, the parent company of those stations, as well as abc seven. >> it is season premiere night here on abc seven. at eight, it's the conners, followed by not dead yet at nine abbott elementary, then judge steve harvey at ten, and stay with us for abc seven news at 11. >> but right now, let's go back and talk about the weather for the next few days. >> meteorologist andy patel has that. sandhya. yeah. >> we're not going to be alone. ama and dan in this wind. let me show you a gorgeous view from zephyr cove where it's not terribly windy. just a lovely view with a mix of sun and high clouds. they do have a high wind warning that will be in effect until 5 p.m. friday, and that is because they are expecting strong, gusty winds. so that begins tonight and you will notice the winds beginning to ramp up as we head towards tomorrow. 5060 mile an hour winds at kirkwood and topping that 60 mile an hour wind as well. heading into early friday. but then the winds will back off by friday evening. the one thing

is that they may have to actually close down some of the ski resorts if it's that windy, so keep that in mind right now on live doppler seven. just a few passing clouds tomorrow afternoon it is going to be warmer with 60s and 70s windy in the area across the region. friday the winds will be with us mid 70s for the warmest spots. saturday we lose the wind, we keep the warmth and sunday the same thing. so it's going to be beautiful. accuweather seven day forecast. you want sunshine? you got it. the next seven days, including saint patrick's day weekend and also for the start of spring, which is tuesday evening, by the way, dan and lovely. >> yes, i like that the weather arrived before the calendar date for spring. >> yes, it's a great time. thank you. all right. larry beals here with sports. what's going on warriors 18 games left in the regular season. >> they're trying to climb up in the standings. but no steph and no draymond for golden state tonight in dallas. so how do the dubs get a dub in big d against luka and the mavs. that's next

but his vision dimmed with age. he had amd. i didn't know it then, but it can progress to ga, an advanced form of the disease. his struggle with vision loss from amd made me want to help you see warning signs of ga, like: hazy or blurred vision,

so it's hard to see fine details, colors that appear dull or washed out, or trouble with low light that makes driving at night a real challenge. if you think you have ga, don't wait. treatments are available. ask a retina specialist about fda-approved treatments for ga and go to gawontwait.com

good evening. continuing his comeback from an ankle injury, steph curry worked out with the warriors g league team today and it seems like he's trending to be ready for lebron and the lakers on saturday. saturday night it's a 530 tip off here on abc seven. so no steph tonight in dallas. and no draymond green either. out with a sore back.

now the mavs come in eighth in the west. the warriors and 10th place. and daniel gafford says hello to a big jam as the mavs jump out to an early lead. the first half was like a dunk a thon, although brandon pisemsky here the high degree of difficulty three over the defender dubs down 1612. now dallas as i mentioned they love the lob derrick lively who was appropriately named. he is very lively and he is he's a problem. uh- warriors hanging around moses moody in attack mode with authority. but the dubs got down by double digits in this game. you got to stop luka doncic somehow. easier said than done. clearly he's got a dozen at the half working on jonathan kuminga, who has 16 at the break. mavs leading 4842 there at the half. the 49 ers. they're trying to get better and save money. and that's why they released defensive tackle eric armstead. that saves $18 million off the salary cap. they also restructured fullback kyle hughes checks contract. and that frees up another million and a half dollars. so the 49 ers

today they traded a seventh round pick to the houston texans to acquire defensive tackle maliek collins. he started 46 games for the texans the past three seasons. and his presence should help stop the run. the 40 niners need more d-line help, and this thing really turned quickly. out of nowhere. only hours after it was reported that the niners were signing linebacker eric kendricks, he changed his mind. he never actually signed. he agreed, but didn't sign. so he's going to dallas instead. now the niners need to find somebody to hold down a linebacker spot while dre greenlaw recovers from that torn achilles, the saint mary's gaels. they are going dancing yet again after winning the west coast conference and the regular season title for just the third time in program history. so they've officially punched their ticket to the ncaa tournament. the gaels arriving back on campus today, met with an adoring crowd. saint mary's sustained success under head coach randy bennett has been absolutely remarkable, and they're going to the ncaa tournament for the third straight year for the first time

in program history. >> yeah, you know, this is hometown love, you know, being from here and everything, it's great to see all the support we're getting. and, you know, we hope to continue that and get a couple more bus rides back with people here. so we're looking forward to the to the next step in our journey. >> and it's an unbelievable feeling, mostly just to do it with with this group of brothers on this team, we fought through so much all year and coming back here and seeing our wonderful fans is, dream come true for all of us. >> i think, good to see randy smiling there. and they could get a seven seed in the tournament. abc seven sports, sponsored by your northern california honda dealers. great. what randy bennett has done in 20 plus years at saint mary's is just astonishing. they consistently have the best program in the bay area, and this is a school with fewer than 4000 students. >> yeah, and he could have left many times. but he's committed. yeah >> no he he loves it. he's he's in the right place at the right time. and just continues to crank out 20 win seasons. remarkable yeah. thanks larry. >> don't forget abc7 news is
