"Unprecedented Tie: Low and Simitian Advance in Silicon Valley House Seat Race"
TL;DR
In a closely-watched Silicon Valley House seat primary election, Assemblymember Evan Low and Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian have ended in an extraordinary tie for second place, likely advancing both to the November election alongside fellow Democrat Sam Liccardo. The race to succeed outgoing Congressmember Anna Eshoo has added a new layer of uncertainty with a rare three-way general election in the 16th Congressional District. Despite the possibility of a recount, both campaigns appear to have little reason to pursue it due to the high cost, and the candidates will now spend the next seven months courting voters in what is expected to be an expensive and bruising contest.
