The recount to break a historic tie in the race for the 16th Congressional District ended with Assemblymember Evan Low narrowly securing second place over Santa Clara Co. Supervisor Joe Simitian, moving Low to the November election.

On Tuesday, the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters finished its recount. Low and Simitian gained 11 votes and seven votes, respectively. The reason the race wasn't called, though, was because the San Mateo County Registrar of Voters was still reviewing ballots that were being challenged — Its original machine recount maintained the same number of votes.'Of those 28 challenged ballots, 12 related to signature verification and 16 related to postmark issues.

I lost, and I concede. I trust the process, and I accept the result,' Simitian said. 'I want to congratulate Assemblymember Evan Low and former Mayor Sam Liccardo. I have spoken to them both to wish them well. I look forward to the lively campaign they will undoubtedly run.'Former San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, who won first place in the March election, also released a statement regarding the recount results.'Previously uncounted votes were counted.
