Watchdogs Weigh in to Force Clean-Up of Bay Area Voter Rolls

Judicial Watch has once again taken legal action to force 21 California counties to remove ineligible voters from their voter rolls. Targeted counties in the San Francisco and Monterey Bay Areas include Alameda, Solano, San Mateo, Santa Cruz and San Benito.

The lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California seeks to compel California to implement the 2018 settlement agreement between Judicial Watch and both the California Secretary of State and the Los Angeles County Registrar of Voters to remove voters who fail to respond to a residency notice sent by the county registrar and then fail to vote in two federal elections.

From November 2020 to November 2022 the five Bay Area counties listed above removed just one voter pursuant to the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).

By contrast the Santa Clara County Registrar confirmed in a letter to the Santa Clara County Republican Party (SVGOP) that it had removed approximately 204,000 inactive voters from its rolls in compliance with the requirements of the NVRA. . . . read more

Hon Lien's American Story

by Roger Riffenburgh

While Hon Lien is now a successful businesswoman, active in community service, and a Milpitas City Council member running for mayor, her backstory began long ago and far away.

Hon Lien grew up in Bac Lieu, a coastal city in the southern part of South Vietnam. Her father was from China and married her mother in Vietnam and they had eleven children. They escaped from Vietnam by boat in 1978. Lien says, "My family spent 13 months in a Malaysian refugee camp and resettled in the United States on December 26, 1979. That evening, having delivered my family to freedom, my father suffered a stroke and died shortly after." Hon began work at age 14 to help support her family as she attended George Washington High School in San Francisco. After graduating, she attended San Francisco City College for two years.

In 1987 Hon Lien co-founded Sunnyvale Seafood Corp., which distributed seafood throughout the Bay Area and California. By 2003, it had 55 employees and $60 million in revenue. . . . read more
