Good morning, Stockton.
We’ve got quite the story for you today from the San Joaquin County Registrar of Voters — and it involves a 102-year-old World War II veteran.
Marvin Lykins, a retired physician, was mistakenly removed from the county’s voter rolls after being incorrectly listed as deceased. The registrar called it a rare clerical error. Officials say Lykins’ voting status has been restored. You can read Chris Woodyard’s full report here.
Also drawing readers’ attention: the city’s proposed regulations for street vendors and a look at how transgender residents in the Central Valley are balancing fear and resilience amid political uncertainty.
As always, I appreciate your support and readership.
