Rhetoric aside, Liccardo having a supporter file for a recount without owning up to it is extremely cowardly. It is kind of upsetting that this corporate puppet is basically guaranteed to win now
Low definitely won't beat him now, and I think Simitian was probably already an underdog
Honestly, if there was ever a district where being a "corporate puppet" is a good fit, it would be this one given all the important Silicon Valley corporations headquartered here. If anything, being a "corporate puppet" would just be accurately and effectively representing the constituents (which include not just the residents but the corporations).
Ironically, the case that established corporate personhood, Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific had the two counties that this district is part of (San Mateo being the other) lose.
