WITH the California primary a week away, Hillary Clinton is trying regain the momentum from rival Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has been winning the primaries and caucuses of the smaller states. Despite his victories, a Sanders victory is mathematically unlikely but in the public's eye, the Clinton campaign has lost its sense of urgency. According to some polls, Sanders has been able to chip away at Clinton's sizable lead and the race is dead even.
For the country's largest state, Clinton is not leaving anything to chance and is making a concerted effort to win over the Asian/American and Pacific Islander vote. The problem is that even though there are about 3 million eligible AAPI voters in the state, in 2012 only 545,000 actually voted, according to a study conducted by UC Davis Center for Regional Change. AAPI voters have the lowest turnout rate among ethnic groups.
The ads have started airing in California in Mandarin, Korean, Vietnamese and Cantonese.
