6:05 am
a candidate in the race that someone else requested the recount in my name without my approval. uh- and being funded by an out of state billion for, i think, leaves one to wonder that this doesn't pass the smell test here in santa clara county. >> very close races on the local level are already recounted. assembly member lowe said his bill would trigger a recount for any statewide race where candidates had less than 25 votes, or 0.25% of the cast ballots, separating them. >> this proposal, number one, requires that of an automatic recount paid for by the county and number two requires real time disclosures of any type of funding. over $10,000 of a recount effort. >> political scientist melissa michaelson said. this bill can take the scandal or mystery out of who is actually paying for a recount. >> so this is a way to separate the democracy of it, the actual
6:06 am
count from the politics of it, in terms of who decides to have a recount, who pays for a recount. >> to michaelson, having the law in place would mean voter preferences are accurately reflected. >> if you have a very close race, you know errors can be made and votes can be miscounted . it's like that saying measure twice, cut once. >> simitian had no comment to share at this time, lowe will face former san jose mayor sam liccardo in november in san jose. lauren martinez abc seven news. >> here's a story we've been following since this weekend the wild sideshow that took place in the embarcadero in san francisco . drivers were seen spinning donuts as another car burned in the middle of the street. some people even got up on the car and started dancing on it. this is one of three sideshows in the city. early sunday morning, police haven't made any arrests, but they did see some cars
