  • Electoral Silliness: SF Candidates Use Chinese Names on Ballot

    Are the voters in San Francisco this dumb?

    "In order to win Chinese-American votes, candidates in San Francisco are putting their "Chinese names" on the November ballot. But it’s not just the Chinese candidates, reports Jane Xiao for the Sing Tao Daily.

    Candidates are printing their names in English and Chinese on the ballot. But a closer look shows that, in addition to the eight Chinese-American candidates, and several other Asian candidates like Jane Kim and Jeff Adachi, who have used Chinese-character names for a long time, many non-Chinese candidates are also giving themselves Chinese-sounding names.

    They include Richard Ulmer and Michael Nava, who are both running for Superior Court Judge Seat 15. Ulmer and Nava are using two different approaches when it comes to deciding on their Chinese names. Ulmer is transcribing his surname into Chinese characters phonetically (“Ao Ma&rdquo, while Nava is transcribing his surname into “Lee” and “Jing Ping” (Cantonese), which actually means “fair and just,” qualities sought in a judge."

    What is dumber is the law or elected officials that allow this election fraud. San Fran is a disaster as a legitimate city.
