Like the rest of the country, Congresswoman Anna Eshoo watched in awe as two candidates tied in a heated race to replace her, triggering a request from a Silicon Valley political operative to fund a six-figure recount.
In an analysis of more than 1 million votes cast by current legislators since 2017, CalMatters Digital Democracy reporter Ryan Sabalow and CBS Sacramento reporter Julie Watts found that Democrats vote “no” less than 1% of the time on average.
Two recount requests are pending for the highly anticipated race to replace Rep. Anna Eshoo's Silicon Valley congressional seat — potentially changing who advances to the November runoff.

Santa Clara Supervisor Joe Simitian and State Assemblymember Evan Low each received 30,249 votes for the runner-up spot for California's 16th Congressional District, ensuring that both will be on the November ballot, alongside frontronner Sam Liccardo, San Jose's former mayor.
Evan Low and Joe Simitian each garnered 30,249 votes for the runner-up spot on the November ballot, for California’s 16th Congressional District. That’s the report from the California Secretary of State from the final day of counting of “cured” ballots in the March 5, primary election, in the nailbiter of a race for the runner-up spot.
Some of California’s top lawmakers want to clear up, but also rein in, the “builder’s remedy.”
Progressive and labor-friendly politicians have enjoyed a majority on the San Jose City Council for the past two years, but the November elections may flip the balance.
The state is considering zeroing out funds for CalWORKS family stabilization and job subsidy programs to help balance the budget.
Voter turnout as of Wednesday March 27 sits at 37.38% according to the county’s Registrar of Voters, with 382,958 ballots counted out of just more than 1 million registered voters.
The race to replace Congresswoman Anna Eshoo is about as tight as it can get, and it will likely be weeks until it's clear who's going to the runoff.
