NEW: The San Jose City Council has voted to fill the two vacant seats themselves instead of holding a special election.

The latest in 2014, during Mayor Sam Liccardo’s term, who contends what’s happening now is a political game.

Opposing groups, such as the Santa Clara County Democratic Party, say it's actually Mahan who is playing a pricey political game, looking for possible allies among a council who supported his opponent. But many voters stood before the council arguing against a special election, saying it would be a waste of money in a time when the city needs every penny.
