face off against evan low in the district 16 congressional race in november. they are vying to replace anna eshoo, who is retiring. the recount from the tied march primary just wrapped up. evan low and joe simitian had exactly the same votes. the recount shows lo actually beat simitian by five votes, though it seemed that all three would go to the november ballot. a recount was requested by the santa clara county registrar's office, said recount observers challenge 45 uncounted ballots. the registrar determined seven that were initially uncounted were actually valid. the mix up with that batch had to do with signature matching and boxes. voters forgot to mark, affirming

their citizenship status. there were also some mix ups with other ballots. >> there were 12 ballots in a batch that weren't counted. so that was an error, a human error . we understand we're going to, like i said, going to tighten the processes. but that happened in that ballot counting room, and they were able to fix that. and count those ballots. >> in a statement, simitian said he was disappointed but not sad, saying in part, the good news is the 16th congressional districts long, painful exercise counting the votes is over. the not so good news we've come up short. i lost and i concede. i trust the process and i accept the result. president biden will return to the bay area next week for a fundraiser. the event will be in portola valley. portola valley on friday. it's hosted by a businessman and venture capitalist. the time and address and the list of others who may attend. we don't know it. a major move by the united methodist church delegates at the church's general conference voted overwhelmingly to repeal a long standing ban on lgbtq clergy. the united methodist
