challenger ro khanna made calls with volunteers. the final polls before election day show the race to be tied. the gap between them closed over the past months. >>> today's turnout could be the lowest ever for a general election in the state of california. a new field poll predicts 46% of registered voters will cast ballots. the current record low was set back in 2002 when just 50.5% actually voted. just 25% turned out in this year's june primary. >>> and making voting more difficult, some counties are having problems on the internet. this is a look at voting in walnut creek this morning. the website for the contra costa county registrar has been down all day making it harder for voters to get information on where to cast ballots. the registrar says people can still get it from their sample ballot or by calling the registrar's office. >> the third option is just to use a search engine and enter -- find my polling place. there are a number of options online other than our website to find your polling place. >> the contra costa site i

ro khanna tried to take it away from him. lots of tech support. did ro pick the wrong guy to go after, no rationale to get rid of honda? >> it is very hard to unseat an incumbent, especially a popular incumbent that has the party's support, as honda did. yeah, there weren't any real negatives for honda. ro's argument basically was look, he's been there a long time. i'm younger. i have new ideas. i'm nortech savvy. i'm more in touch with the current leads of silicon valley. and ultimately, that wasn't enough to convince voters to kick honda out. >> but he did do well. so tech is playing a role in politics, right? >> the fact that it is so close is a wake-up call that tech is playing a larger role in politics. they're putting more money into it. they did back khanna's campaign. i'm sure that khanna will come back, either to run for the same seat or another one two years from now. >> interesting. let's talk about oakland. libby schaaf, a field of 15 beat handily the mayor jean quan. not unheard of for an kwumt to be beaten. but that badly? what was go

this was a democrat versus democrat race, a seven-term congressman versus a relative newcomer, ro khanna, who had a big silicon valley backing. honda says that with at least 92,000 votes counted and a lead of more than 4,000 votes, the 73 year old says he is the winner. that lead is roughly 4.5%, and honda claims that lead is just too insurmountable for khanna to overcome. at last word there were still 30,000 votes left to tally. honda is confident his lead will hold and he will retain his job. outspent by his opponent, honda believes his grassroots campaign was invaluable and his win says the voters of this district value his service. >> together we sent a message that this election could not be bought by super pacs or right-wing millionaires and billionaires. my opponents' donors wasted more than $5 million to try to replace my progressive voice with someone who would do their own bidding. and although we were outspent 2-1, they were no match for the more than 10,000 people who funded my campaign. >> and we are back at honda headquarters, campaign headquarters, where congressman honda

mike honda was backed by the democratic party and labor unions and the challenger, 38-year-old, ro khanna grew support from the technical community, the first asian majority house district outside of hawaii. >> on the national stage, republicans won big last night. the going captured the senate and tightened their grip on the house of representatives in the midterm vote. the g.o.p. gained seven seats at least for 52 total seats, the democrats have 45 seats and three contests have not been called. here is more from washington, dc. >> the massive rest wave on tuesday left democrats licking their wounds. >> it was a crushing defeat for the democrats losing not only in purple states and red states which we anticipated but we lost if blue states. >> republicans seized control of the senate and tightened their grip on the house of representatives. here's the big winners from the l.a.p.d. sleep, joni ernst who talked about castrating hogs put republicans over-the-top where a victory in iowa. >> we will make 'em squeal! >> gardner won in a state that president obama carried twice and the first af

. >>> it is down to the wire for incumbent congressman mike honda and his challenger ro khanna . the race has been highly contentious. they are both democrats with impressive endorsements and plenty of campaign financing. the gap in the polls has narrowed tremendously putting them both within reach of a win. >>> voters in berkeley and san francisco will decide whether to impose taxes on sodas and other sweetened drinks. if approved measure d would add a penny per ounce tax on sugary drinks. a simple majority is needed to pass. the money would go to the general fund. measure e would impose a 2-cent per ounce tax. that measure needs two-thirds approval because the main roized would pay for physical and edge case problems. >>> san francisco voters are deciding on the housing crisis measures. proposition k calls for building or fiing up at least -- fies up at least -- fiing up at -- fixing up 30,000 houses. proposition g could focus on properties bought and resold in less than five years. it's intended to deter investors who flip or buy buildings to resell at a profit while evicting

. >>> the closest race is the one pitting mike honda against ro khanna. here's the latest on that race for district 17's top seat. honda holding a very slim lead right now, up 52% to 48%. the gap was tight last night when each candidate remained upbeat about their chances. >> i feel good. i feel good because all our supporters are here. you don't see a party like this yet. this is good. this is good. but it's still early. >> regardless of the results, and we don't know how the results are going to come out, but regardless of the results, tonight we have a lot to celebrate. we have so much to be proud of. >> and as you saw a second ago, not all the precinct votes have been cast yet, not all the provisional ballots, some of the mail-in ballots need to be counted. we're still waiting to find out definitively who won the race. khanna is popular with tech leaders, honda is seeking to win his eighth term in congress. >> jerry brown won pretty easily, proposition 1 easily passed. it creates a $7.5 billion water bond to create a new recycling and water storage sy

incumbent mike honda leading challenger ro khanna by 4% there. there are still a lot of mail- in and other ballots to be counted there, as well. the district includes parts of santa clara and alameda counties. >>> thanks to a dated system used to tally votes, santa clara county was one of the slowest in the state to post results. the silicon valley county has a low tech problem. instead of ballots being count at the more than 800 precincts, the ballots have to be delivered to a central location and processed through 14 machines. it's a system that's been in place for more than a decade. >> to find a voting system is not something that's done overnight and there are very few choice. a voting system must be certified by the secretary of state's office. >> santa clara county's system was decertified a few years after they purchased it. the county is looking into new systems but could be years before they buy one. >>> big drug bust exposing a growing problem in contra costa county. kpix 5's ryan takeo explains why the county has become a drug traffic
