<pre>>I <span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span>believe the election was supervised by Robertson & Associates this year. And look! The license is active and clear:
<a href="http://www2.dca.ca.gov/pls/wllpub/WLLQRYNA$LCEV2.QueryView?P_LICENSE_NUMBER=28806&P_LTE_ID=783" id="LPlnk353445">http://www2.dca.ca.gov/pls/wllpub/WLLQRYNA$LCEV2.QueryView?P_LICENSE_NUMBER=28806&P_LTE_ID=783</a>
Sounds to me like Robertson simply went off on his own, and thus the older licenses were no longer relevant because the business partnerships changed.
