Joe Simitian and Evan Low are in a tight race for second place.
For weeks, the political drama surrounding the stunningly close congressional District 16 race in California has captivated onlookers with its razor-thin margins and the almost daily swing in the leading candidate for the coveted second spot on the November ballot.
With every mail-in ballot tallied, all that remains is several hundred ballots that were challenged during the count. Matthew Alvarez, a partner at Rutan and Tucker who specializes in election law, said an abundance of data regarding where candidates did well gives campaigns a good sense of which way the challenged ballots swing.
After election results are certified early next month, Low or Simitian would have five days to request a recount, and the candidate requesting it must pay for it, Alvarez said.
