Update on race between Honda and Khanna

The San Jose Mercury reports that Khanna is not conceding:

    Khanna's campaign was clearly not giving up hope. "Unfortunately, given the small number of votes released tonight, we are still left with nearly 35 percent of voters to be counted," spokesman Tyler Law said Wednesday evening. ... Santa Clara County estimates it still has about 120,000 to 150,000 mail-in ballots and about 14,000 provisional ballots still to be tallied countywide, said assistant registrar Matt Moreles. He said it's reasonable to assume the number of those from within the 17th District is roughly proportional to the amount of the county that's within the district -- about 25 percent.

It is unfathomable that in the heart of Silicon Valley somewhere between 25% and 35% of votes remain to be counted two days after the election. Apparently our government does not know anything about real-time, event-driven analytics.
