Stumpy’s Hatchet House to offer cutting edge entertainment in Huntington Beach

Swinging axes and swigging beers: What could possibly go wrong? Well, the name of the place – Stumpy’s Hatchet House – suggests at least one potential snafu. Huntington Beach is soon to boast this cutting-edge style of entertainment, which may well be the hottest trend you’ve never heard of.

OC jail phone vendor again records confidential calls between inmates and their attorneys

The telephone vendor for the Orange County jail system — already embattled for inadvertently recording nearly 34,000 confidential attorney-client phone calls before repairing the system in 2018 — is again breaching protected calls, according to court papers.

How did your neighborhood vote? Ballot data for Orange County reveals curious shifts, splits

Over the past month, more people turned out to vote in Orange County than in any election in more than a half century. With old trends upended by the coronavirus pandemic and political rhetoric, more voters submitted their ballots via drop box than by any other voting method. And while reliably blue neighborhoods in Santa Ana and Irvine strongly favored President-elect Joe Biden, President Donald Trump flipped Little Saigon this year, which in 2016 gravitated toward Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. These are a few of the electoral facts emerging as the Orange County Registrar of Voters counts the last of the ballots from the 2020 general election. While final numbers are expected to be certified in December, a precinct-level analysis of the preliminary totals offers insight into how local voting patterns have changed, where some residents left ballots blank and when they did something increasingly rare in American politics — split their tickets.
