Measure A will add a $79 tax per parcel on top of renewing an existing $49 tax to fund educational programs at Los Gatos High School and Saratoga High School.
One additional vote from San Mateo County today added to Evan Low's four-vote margin in Santa Clara County, giving him a five-vote lead over Joe Simitian, good for the second spot on the November ballot with frontrunner Sam Liccardo, the former San Jose mayor.
While former San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo’s 8,200-vote margin means he is a shoo-in for the top spot on the ballot, the recount could change the unprecedented tie between Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian and State Assemblymember Evan Low.
Evan Low says, Thanks but no thanks, to the recount, and accuses Sam Liccardo of Trumpian tactics in engineering a recount plot to benefit from a two-man race.
Weekend processing of ballots by voters who were same-day registrants and the results of challenges to others could leave the race to be Sam Liccardo’s opponent in November a virtual dead-heat.
The vote-by-mail ballots can be returned by mail, dropped off at any county Vote Center, or deposited in any one of 48 dropbox locations in San Jose or any one of the 55 dropbox locations in other cities in the county before 8pm June 7.
