The tie for second place in the Congressional District 16 race isn't officially broken yet, but on Tuesday Santa Clara County announced both candidates gained additional votes during the recount.The Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters on Tuesday said it completed its recount. The result was candidate Evan Low gaining 11 votes, for a total of 25,093, and candidate Joe Simitian gained seven votes, totaling 23,775. Some votes were found to not have been counted due to human error.

'More than 182,000 ballots were cast across both counties. However, the unprecedented nature of the Congressional District 16 results, which are extremely close, is a rare instance where even a tiny percentage of votes may have an impact on the outcome,' the registrar of voters said. San Mateo County's Registrar of Voters has yet to announce its recount results, so it's not yet known if the additional votes in Santa Clara will break the tie.
