can evan low pull this out? >> yeah, i think it's an absolute possibility. on election night, we were seeing a little bit more distance between joe simitian and evan low with simitian looking like he was going to take the number two spot. that was consistent with the low voter turnout we were seeing. these were clearly going to be the top three candidates. they all have great political experience, name recognition, history, you know, in the region, pulling from slightly different areas of the district, but not surprising that these three ended up on top. joe simitian, again, has anna eshoo's endorsement. he's been in politics for decades. so it wouldn't have been surprising to see him get the number two spot. but evan low represents a younger generation, also lots of experience in local politics and in the state assembly. he's asian american, which represents a significant portion of the constituents in that district. so i really think it could go either way. >> 161 votes. you ever seen something this close in recent memory? >> this is definitely one of the

we'll know a lot more the next few days. >> reporter: we reached out to evan low's campaign for an interview. they told us they couldn't fit one in with his schedule but sent us this statement saying in part, "while there are still votes left to be counted, i'm encouraged by the latest results that have put our campaign in the lead. i am grateful to all of my supporters and look forward to all votes being counted in this race." melinda jackson is a professor of political science at san jose state university. she says the way this race has played out may be an indication of the type of supporters each candidate has. >> we can speculate that the people who are really on top of this and paying a lot of attention and voting early getting their ballots in ahead of time might be older voters with a little more time on their hands or maybe people who are more familiar with someone like joe simitian who has been in politics for decades, whereas the last minute voters might tend to be younger, maybe looking for a younger candidate like evan low who does represent a new generation. >> reporter: no mat

evan lowe and joe simitian have been trading spots on the leaderboard. evan lowe was ahead by just two votes for much of today at less than 2000 votes to be counted. most of them are contested ballots, meaning they didn't have a signature or the signature it had did not match the one on record. >> we are reaching out to voters by mail to ensure they can reach out and verify signatures so the votes can be counted. they can come into the office and they can mail or fax the verification forms. >> reporter: a much different scene inside the registrars office today, compared to election night, largely quiet, waiting for voters attached to the ballots to respond. a handful of signature verifications come in each day and the votes are counted. >> the ones we are able to verify go through the county process. >> reporter: the remaining have until april 2 to respond and they certify the election 10 days later. >> it goes to show you the value of the vote. >> reporter: what comes next? neither the state or the federal government have an automatic recount threshold.

i'm hopeful we can see more of a turnout, the trends are still to be told.>> and that is evan low. and move on to a different seat, we told you barbara lee is not moving forward but she did have to give up her congressional seat to be able to try to run for dianne feinstein prophecy. district 12, that show you what those results are right now, simon right now has 43% of the vote, following her, jennifer tran with 80% of the vote, those two will be the ones who will move forward it looks like but we don't know completely, we will have to see how things break out. and is also tony daysog with 50%. >>> chris. talk about the presidential primary, nbc news is called a win for trump and present by in california. setting up for a possible rematch in november but it doesn't come as much of a surprise. >> the single biggest delegate grab of the season, 16 states and one territory up for grabs. it was a big night for the former president trump pulling away with wins in 12 states so far tonight, nikki haley winning in vermont, that was her soul victory tonight. that brings her total delegates

so with sam liccs well as evan low.well, the name of the game is being in the top two, so that ultimately is thec goal. but wht is important is that we've done all that we possibly can. this sprace, showed that 11 candidats desire to run for congress and especially in an environment where congress is so spdysfunctional. and so you thik about who would want to actually but our district expectscessary- exceptionalism. and i'm, again, i'm so proud to be able to earn the trust of every single voter in the congressional district. >> what we're seeing in the early results is what i'm hearing at the doors. it'sc a reflection of the fact that our residents are responding to the urgent need to get congress moving around what we are most challenged with. >> now, two other things i wanted to mention, of course, the mayor of san jose was also being elected tonight, and it looks like mayor matt mehan will continue doing the work that he's doing in san jose and also measure b and the city of santa clara. it looks like 72% of voters w

current santa clara county supervisor and former state senator sam liccardo edging out evan low for the second place spot in the primary. low had not conceded as of last night. joe simitian served as mayor of palo alto and has decades of experience. he is focusing now on the major national issues he says he can take on as a problem solver. >> on day one, we are going to restore a woman's right to choose, reproductive freedom. we are going to press forward further , faster on climate change here in the united states and around the globe. >> i am pretty familiar with the turf in washington, d.c. we got to get congress focused on the problems that our residents are most concerned about. there is a whole host of challenges that is not just us facing but many communities facing. >> this race to replace anna eshoo, crowded in the primary. also the most expensive u.s. house seat in the country. more than $8 million spent on advertising for tv, radio and what you get in the mail. a good percentage of that going to just the two top candidates in this race. >> the only statewide proposition, prop

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

so is it going to be evan low or joe simitian?last count, evan low has a one-vote lead over simitian. there are fewer than 2,000 ballots left to be counted. now those remaining ballots are called contested ballots. that means when a voter turned it in, they either didn't sign it, or the signature did not match the one on record. elections officers are waiting for those voters to respond. >> so what we are doing is reaching out to those voters by mail to insure that they can reach out and to verify their signatures with us so their votes can be counted. they can come in to the office or also mail or fax the verification forms. >> voters with contested ballots have until april 2nd to verify their votes that means we likely won't have official results until then. there is also a real possibility of a recount. in order for that to happen, a candidate or their supporters would have to call for it and pay for it. >>> another headline that we are watching, a hidden camera inside of a bathroom of a local starbucks. police are trying to de

it is a cross county race and evan low is in fourth place. now slightly ahead in santa clara county. elections workers are still at it removing ballots from the envelopes and verifying signatures and in this restricted room in san jose they are counting all the votes that are still coming in. >> we are in the high peak time making sure we get all of the election results counted in time for certification. >> it seems everyone in the peninsula and the south bay are watching this race for second bay-- second place. at last count, the santa clara county supervisor leads evan low . the winner gets to move on to a november runoff but with such a close race, political observers are eager to see if the losing candidate will request and pay for a recount. >> any consultant worth their salt will let them know that a race this close requires immediate attention of lawyers, immediate attention to begin the process, because a race this close can be one at recount. >> to me, no matter the ultimate outcome, the closeness of this race shows that your vote tr

and now as polls have closed, people have come down here to support evan low. he's running for california's 16th congressional district. he's currently a california state assembly member. he's running to fill the silicon valley seat that's been held by representative anna eshoo for more than 3 decades. she's retiring. one of evan low supporters tells us throughout lowes career he has been there for his whenever there is even problems or questions that we have. he and his staff are so so and they have been for as long as he's been. >> assemblyman and also a mayor. and so i just want voters to know that he will represent even when, you know, they're not the same room as that they can feel comfortable that he's always going to represent >> he's running against former san jose mayor sam liccardo as well as several other candidates. whoever wins this race will represent communities from pacifica to san jose and we have a lot of people here tonight. they're all looking at the screen over here that has the results on it right now. he is currently in 3rd, but they're s

she also spoke with evan low earlier this evening. he's in 3rd place. still tonight, amanda. >> how's it looking out there in palo alto? >> speaking with joe summit ii and he says he feels confident that these results are going to hold and that he will stay in the top 2 right now we have about 50% of the votes counted. i believe he just left, but we still have some people hanging out here at the palo alto creamery where he was having his campaign event tonight. but things are starting to wrap up a bit here summit. ian is running for california's 16th congressional district summit. ian says the whole campaign was only 3 months long. he's excited to have some more time between now and november. if he advances, he says some of his campaign's focus is our affordable health care. a woman's right to choose and climate change. he says he's represented 14 of 15 of the cities and towns in this district and he believes that gives him an advantage over his opponent. >> i'm really looking forward to chance to have more of a person, the person campaign, whether that

and evan low has 15.6%. so just some very minor changes in the percentages there. the top two candidates, of course, are going to head to the november runoff. liccardo's spot in the race is all, but confirmed. he was already celebrating last night. it was an early front runner, raking in nearly double the cash as his competitors in the first month and a half of that campaign. >> i'm pretty familiar with the turf if washington, d.c. and what i know is we've got to get congress focused on the problems that our residents are most concerned about like homelessness and the housing crisis and the utility costs, and a whole host of challenges that it is not just us facing, but many communities across the country are facing. >> reporter: young joe simitian was hopeful last night. he has 40 years of elected office experience including serving on the state senate, and the palo alto unified school board. now he has his eyes set on wider goals. >> on day one, we're going to restore a woman's right to choose. we're going to press forward farther and faster on climate change her

but evan low says there is a lot of counting left to do and outstanding ballots to change the outcome. i spoke with officials in the south bay and they have nearly 150,000 votes left to count along the with others postmarked by yesterday. but just a note here, not all of those votes will be in this congressional race. however, today, both say they are confident they will be facing off in november. >> i want to see a campaign. i want to see a competition of ideas and so that we bring the best ideas forward both to address homelessness and the other challenges we all face in our communities like the high cost of utilities. >> in addition to representing 14 of the 15 cities in the district i know their views, values and needs i'm the only experienced legislator in the race who has taken on issues. >> a lot of races were setting a runoff in november but the mayor's race different situation. >> it is different because there were only two candidates. the primary basically served as the final election in this race. and current mayor cruised to a victory last night. he has been serving a two-

at last count, santa clara county supervisor is nearly tied with assemblyman evan low. smitty leads by 162 votes. it is a cross county race with him leading in san mateo county and evan low up slightly in santa clara county. with such a close race political observers say that a recount is likely with the cost paid by the candidate. >> any consultant worth their salt will let them know that a race this close requires immediate attention of lawyers to begin the process, because it case this close could be won at recount. >> less than 200 votes separate those candidates and today is the deadline for ballots to actually arrive at the santa clara county registrar and they must be postmarked by march 5 which was last super tuesday. the county will certify election results on april 2. >>> a big endorsement for a san francisco supervisor. dean preston has the support of bernie sanders, the vermont senator. he is in the midst of a reelection campaign and senator sanders posted his endorsement on twitter or x saying dean preston is among the leaders who quote not only stand up to

evan low leading joe simitian by two votes. this is the battle for second place because the top two advance to november. it's very likely here the losing candidate here, the third-place finisher, will request a recount if the race ends this way. >>> well, the biden administration is trying to target aapi voters with a new ad highlighting his investments in small businesses. >> the biden/harris administration is really working hard to lower the barriers. >> the ad follows a married couple and their expanding small business. according to the census, asian americans own more than 600,000 businesses in 2020, the highest across all minority groups. and asian americans are also the fastest growing electorate. they're expected to make up more than 6% of eligible voters this coming november, and they're becoming a significant presence in many swing states. >>> on the republican side, former president trump cast his ballot in the florida primary today, taking a trip to a polling place near his mar-a-lago club, there with his wife. he's

joe simitian and evan low kind of close right there but joe simitian has 17.9%. so let's go live now to max darrow, and he is joining us from campbell with more on that campaign. take it away, max. >> reporter: it was a good night for former san jose mayor sam liccardo, and the energy at his watch party here in campbell was pretty high. the former mayor actually just left just a couple of minutes ago. he stayed until the very end of the party, there for about two and a half hours speaking to supporters and people excited for a big night for former mayor sam liccardo. you know, early returns have him at the top of the pack of the 11 people who are vying to replace anna eshoo who's held the seat since 1992. liccardo, he says he's really leaning into being a representative who will be able to productively work in what really is right now somewhat of a log jammed congress. he gives credits to his competitor's expertise but says his experience as mayor of san jose prepared him to make this leap. >> you know when you serve a city of a million people, you're already wor

sam liccardo, joe simitian, evan low among the high-profile names in that race. who's going to be the top two? >> okay. you put me on the spot. you know, we have some really great candidates here. again, this seat has not been open for over 30 years. so we've got folks like joe simitian and sam liccardo who have decades of experience in politics and great name recognition in this district. so, you know, those two, i would say, probably have the best -- again, the best kind of bases of voters who are already familiar with them. but, you know, we also have evan low in the race, who represents a younger generation. also asian american, which is a significant portion of the electorate in that district. so, you know, i think it will be a real race, but i'll go out on a limb and say two democrats. >> relatively low turnout tomorrow. does everyone kind of jump back on board for november knowing that's the real stuff that gets decided? >> we certainly hope for. one thing we're going to be looking for is those younger voters. generation z is coming into politics now. they

right and right now assemblyman evan low is leading supervisor joe simitian by just three votes. three votes out of the 182,000 votes cast. have you ever seen anything like this? >> that's a pretty close election. we don't see elections generally that are that close, although there have been elections even in california. there was an election last cycle where the final result was tied and they had to choose it with a coin flip. so, there have been close races. this is about the closest, and it's a very high stakes race. remember, this is replacing an ash who's an icon in the region and nationally, and she's part of a wave of retiring members of congress, including jackie spear and others who are essentially passing the torch, the torch. and we've talked about this race, and we talked about this race, even on election night, when it really looked like liccardo and submission had locked it up. but at that time, i said a lot of the votes that came in early were from early vote by mail voters, which tend to be older and a lot of the late votes come from more young voters. and we saw
