With 9,975 ballots cast, Esparza is trailing Nguyen by 13 votes for the District 7 San Jose City Council seat. The trend is in her favor as she was trailing Nguyen by 1,026 votes at the beginning of last night. There are still over 6,000 ballots to be counted. Everybody expected this to be a close race just like 4 years. Esparza lost by less than 200 votes in 2014. This rematch is nothing but fill of drama so far with Nguyen now the incumbent.
There will likely be a recount and so this election might not be over until the end of November, it seems.
