to support Paul Krekorian. Throughout his campaign, Armenian Americans volunteered to support Krekorian in record numbers, including on the day of the election, during which time volunteers helped get out the vote, assisted at polling stations with translating while also monitoring and reporting problems and irregularities that occur during every election. During the weeks leading up to the election local the Armenian National Committee mounted an unprecedented voter education and get-out-the-vote campaign informing large numbers of voters of the issues at stake and getting people to vote. Upon the election's conclusion, Krekorian had won with 56.6% of the votes to Quintero’s 43.4%, with 100 percent of precincts reporting. Reaction Following the use of mailers and automated calls, city officials requested investigation by the state Attorney general Bill Lockyer into the campaign mailer. Quintero also pressed for an investigation, saying ' "I will either make the motion or second that motion. I've condemned the mailer when it first came out, and I've followed up with a letter to the attorney general and the secretary of state. ... We absolutely had no idea that was taking place." "Councilman Bob Yousefian, a member of the council's Armenian-American majority and a Krekorian supporter, still faults Quintero for the mailer. 'It came out on a Friday night,' he said. 'On Friday night and Saturday, not once did Mr. Quintero come out and say he had nothing to do with it. If it was me, I would've been on TV Friday. ... Maybe the attorney general can get to the bottom of this.'" Quintero denied any knowledge or involvement with the Latino Leadership Fund or its activities. Quintero followed up by issuing mailers to the Latino Leadership Fund, stating his disapproval of the mailers in question. California Latino Leadership Fund officials declined comment on the allegations. References Latin American culture Hispanic and Latino American culture in California
