matt mahan has a slight lead at this time. he's at 51.7 and cindy chavez. she's been in politics since 1996. she is sitting at 48.2. obviously they're still so much to count with only 90% of the precincts reporting in not to mention mail-in ballots that are still coming. a lot of people drop them off yesterday so long as they were postmarked. so it's probably going to be a few days ifanot a week or so before they declare a winner. in the meantime, let's listen to both candidates as what they had to say about this tight race. >> we'll find out the days ahead. i'm trying not expectations either way, but just the fact that we were outspent by nearly 2 million dollars didn't have all the big name elected indoor smits. and yet here we are. i mean, we're we're in a dead heat and we'll see how it plays out. but nonetheless, the campaign that all these hundreds of people behind me ran as something that we're going to always be proud of. and we're going to continue that work forward either. what? >> and honor. and i still feel very positive. for it's not so much jus

matt mahan sitting at 51.7, cindy chavez. 48.2. so they have thousands of more votes to their credit. but the distance is the same. we're just lately more for matt mahan that it doesn't even translate. 2 percentage points is about 5,000 votes. more today yesterday. 4600. so with all those precincts already reporting to the registrar of voters. that's not the problem. as far as those 2 candidates are concerned, it's those mail in ballots and they still are receiving them today. and the days ahead they have about a week after the election to receive them so long as they're postmarked. and i cover this story yesterday, they don't even know how many more mail-in ballots just using the term. thousands. so they have days, weeks and get this james and area. they don't have to rush. they know that they have until december 8th to certify the election. this is closely watched not just in san jose guys. i know nationally they're watching this as well. this being the bay area's largest city. both candidates, they poured in 8 and a half million

mahan is a san jose city council member. meanwhile, in alameda county, they're still a large number of votes yet to count. plus, with ranked choice voting in oakland, it's even harder to predict the outcome. our kron four's theresa reached out to several of the hotly contested races to get their thoughts on the waiting game. >> you know, i i feel good. that's terry wiley. one of the candidates running for alameda county district attorney. the latest figures released election night show wiley at 51% of the vote to his opponent, pamela price at 48% were waiting like everyone else. price on twitter said she had to leave town on a family emergency but released a statement saying, quote, we remain hopeful and optimistic that alameda county will step forward in 2022. but i think one of the other things that gets frustrating. >> for a lot of the community is there's just not a lot of communication around these things either. and so especially in oakland where we have ranked choice. >> ust school board member mike hutchinson is runn

kron 4 is your local election headquarters and matt mahan will be the next mayor of san jose.y and may have joined us for a live interview last night here on kron 4. and he told us that he will be increasing police staffing, at least that's his plan and also increasing resources for the homeless and will accelerate permitting for new housing. we also asked him how he plans to work with the city council members who campaigned against him. >> a collaborator by nature. i'm very confident we're going to be able to work together and it was no surprise to me that most of the local elected endorse my opponent. she's been a local office for 20 years and had a 20 point head start. when i jumped into the race, i didn't expect a lot of establishment support to be perfectly honest with you. i think what's important now is to listen to what the voters had to say. i think our message of focus and accountability for results, including my proposal that we tie elected officials pay raises to measurable performance, really resonated. but beyond that, i you know, i don't pretend to have all of t

we've got cindy chavez and matt mahan. they're running to replace mayor sam liccardo and the winner as a said still to be decided. kron four's will tran is live in san jose. have you been you're there for the last 2 days? you go home yesterday? >> i don't think anybody to go home because this race is too close to call more votes came in yesterday. but the percentage as far as the distance from one candidate to the other, stay the same. believe it or not. the only difference from exactly 24 hours ago, guys, all the precincts in san jose. they have reported, but they still have to count the mail-in ballots. take a look at your screen. these are the percentages. no, it's not deja vu. it's another day. but the numbers the same percentage cindy chavez. 48.2, matt mahan. 51.7. i feel like bill murray. this is groundhog day. but yes, those are the percentages this morning. basically, you break it down like this mahan has about 71,000 votes and chavez. 66,000 votes, they are still counting the ballots. and if you follow me yesterd
