Did Harry Sidhu really live at a modest apartment complex on Lincoln Ave. in Anaheim?

Sidhu’s camp says yes. Folks at the political blog Friends for Fullerton’s Future don’t think so, and they’ve asked District Attorney Tony Rackauckas to investigate whether Sidhu has committed voter fraud by claiming a false address so he could qualify to run for countywide office.

Sidhu is an Anaheim City Councilman who is running for the fourth district supervisor seat left open when Chris Norby was elected to the state Assembly earlier this year. But Sidhu’s sprawling home in Anaheim Hills isn’t within the boundaries of the county’s fourth district, so he has to move to qualify for the race. (Another candidate, Anaheim City Councilwoman Lorri Galloway, also moved into the district to run.)

In a complaint dated Thursday, Friends for Fullerton’s Future blogger Tony Bushala references a private investigator’s report listing evidence that Sidhu never lived in the apartment, such as it didn’t have a refrigerator, neighbors said the apartment was vacant, and a property manager described a rental arrangement with Sidhu that made her uneasy. Sidhu has since changed his address to a single family home in Anaheim.

Orange County Clerk-Recorder Tom Daly is challenging opponent Hugh Nguyen’s ballot designation for the June election.

Nguyen’s ballot designation says he’s “Assistant Orange County Clerk.” Chris Prevatt at Theliberaloc.com delves into whether that’s an accurate description of Nguyen’s role as an assistant clerk in the county’s files management/administration division — a role that does not fall under the Clerk-Recorder’s office.

Check out Prevatt’s  Q and A here. And stay tuned to find out whether Daly’s challenge is successful.
