place between evan low and joe simitian. for now. good evening. >> i'm julie julie haener and i'm mike mibach district 16 also includes san mateo county, where officials are still trying to resolve a little more than a dozen ballots being challenged. our political reporter, greg lee, here in studio with us with more on this really contentious count here. >> yeah, a lot of eyes on this entire recount process going on its 15th day, the santa clara county registrar of voters wrapped up their count. today. it's resulted in evan low taking a four vote lead over joe simitian. the initial certified results said sam liccardo in a clear first place with low and submitting tied for second. all three would have moved on to the general election. then jonathan padilla, a former staffer for liccardo, requested a recount, paying thousands of dollars each day through a super pac. liccardo has denied any involvement there. santa clara county announced today the recount resulted in low receiving an additional 11 votes, simitian gaining another seven. if these results were to stand low, would move on to face
5:01 pm
liccardo in the november runoff, but here's the important part. as of last week, san mateo county is working with the u.s. postal service and other partners to resolve the status of about 16 ballots that are still in their envelopes. we have not received a response from san mateo county elections officials about the status of those ballots, but with the margins this close, just four votes, it could certainly change the result. the santa clara county registrar's office, using this as another reminder to voters that every vote counts. >> in the last election, we had a tie. this election that was a tie. there were a lot of people think that their vote doesn't count, but every single one counts. this is separated by four votes. now you know what i mean. so even if it's like a tiny, tiny part of the entire cast of ballots, it still has a big impact on every single part of the process. so it's important for people to make sure they don't just register. they actually go vote to now, this afternoon we asked low, simitian, and liccardo for their reaction to these recount results.
5:02 pm
>> at least these preliminary results. each of them had nearly the same message. essentially, this is not over. we will wait for a final decision on the remaining challenged ballots in san mateo county. so here is what happens next. we wait on the final recount results from that county. santa clara and san mateo will submit their results to the secretary of state together, and then she will certify the ultimate outcome and determine who will move on to face liccardo in november. and again, if all things are the same and they result in another tie, all three guys, they all go, okay, so quickly, those 16 votes that were those from the original election. >> and i know it's complicated as to various reasons why they are kind of hanging in the balance. what happens with those? >> so i talked to the assistant registrar of san mateo county last week talking about those 16 ballots. those were always there, but there was a dispute over what and when they were postmarked with the united states postal service. so they're working with the usps and other partners to determine exactly when those votes came in. did they make the deadline and are they eligible to be counted? and as you can imagine,
5:03 pm
as we have seen, that is a slow and tedious process because you absolutely want to get it. >> it's almost like an investigation. it's exactly right. >> yeah, it really is. and it's not to say that these things couldn't further be challenged if candidates wanted to take it there. so we've still got some waiting to do. >> and tomorrow is may 1st. so it's been a while. all right greg. thank you greg. >> all right. well, pro-palestinian protests are now affecting about two dozen universities nationwide is a growing number of demonstrators are calling on these schools to separate from israel during its war in gaza, columbia university is limiting access now to its campus today after dozens of protesters took over an academic building overnight in north carolina, chapel hill police arrested dozens of people after they refused to leave campus, and some schools, like ucla, have largely relied on private security guards to monitor the protests here in the bay area, encampments have emerged at uc berkeley, stanford, sonoma state and sf state, but so far they have largely remained peaceful. >> and after eight days of demonstrations at cal poly,
