In California's 16th Congressional District two-two primary, the second place right now is separated by 3 votes and they're busy working on the ballots that were challenged. I believe it's from party observers over signature issues. They have until April 2 to contact the voters if they will "cure" their signature issues and allow their ballots to be opened and counted. This article is from this morning when the separation was one vote.
These are the totals as of the time I posted for the top 3. pp.electionresults.sos.ca.gov/returns/us-rep/district/16Sam Liccardo (Party Preference: DEM) 38,444 21.1% Evan Low (Party Preference: DEM) 30,216 16.6% Joe Simitian (Party Preference: DEM) 30,213 16.6%

Sam Liccardo must be relaxing in his hot tub and sipping a nice beverage as he waits to see who his opponent will be.

It’s getting more interesting because a third party requested a machine recount. The only requirement is a deposit with ongoing payments, but some believe the law authorizes a refund if the outcome changes. If nothing changes, whoever requested the recount is on the hook. And with it being tied, it’s almost certain the results will change because of 1 in 1000 to 10,000 errors are expected in machine counts. www.mercurynews.com/2024/04/12/with-money-put-up-for-recount-request-congressional-district-16-race-is-officially-back-on/Registrar of Voters spokesperson Michael Borja said the request was changed to a machine recount, which means ballots will be re-scanned starting Monday morning. Borja said that additional payments will be required on a “day-to-day basis” and that it could cost more than the $84,200 originally estimated if Padilla and his lawyers follow through on their original request to have other materials examined, such as vote by mail and provisional ballot envelopes.
