Ro Khanna trails Rep. Mike Honda, but won’t concede
The election isn’t over yet in the Democrats-only tussle for a South Bay congressional seat.
Fremont’s Ro Khanna, who finished election night 3,549 votes behind seven-term Democratic Rep. Mike Honda of San Jose, refused to concede Wednesday, saying a huge number of vote-by-mail ballots dropped off at the polls Tuesday remain untallied.
With an estimated 40,000 votes still outstanding in the Silicon Valley district, the race is far from over, Khanna said.
“When we started this campaign nearly two years ago, I was polling at just 3 percent. Now, they're still counting the ballots. It’s that close.” Khanna said in an e-mail message to supporters Wednesday.
