Evan Low, Joe Simitian tie for second place in unofficial final results for California’s District 16 Congressional race
It's a tie between Evan Low and Joe Simitian for second place in the race for District 16.
It’s been nearly a month of vote counting in California’s congressional District 16 race that’s been full of twists and turns with frequent lead changes between Assemblymember Evan Low and Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian, and with the unofficial election results finally in, the two are ending the primary election in a dead tie.
The tie is the latest twist in the District 16 race to replace U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo that has captivated voters in the South Bay and on the Peninsula over the last month. On Tuesday afternoon, Santa Clara County posted its unofficial results, with Low leading by one vote. But on Wednesday, San Mateo County recorded its remaining votes, adding one more to Simitian’s total and keeping his congressional hopes alive.
