California Assemblyman Evan Low, a progressive Democrat, will move on to the November ballot as a congressional candidate after winning a recount following an unprecedented tie vote in the March primary election.
Mr. Low was in a 30,249-vote tie for the state’s 16 Congressional District with Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian, also a Democrat, which could have ended in a three-way contest, under California’s top-two system, in the general election with top vote getter Democrat Sam Liccardo.
