So San Diego says it's having trouble finding translators for all those thousands of non-English-speaking voters ... while the U.S. Department of Justice reports that nearly a third of noncitizen voters have cast a ballot. out there

In the latest migrant sob story from the wokester press, San Diego County is reportedly having trouble finding translators for all those thousands of voters out there who don't speak English, with their ballots (who incidentally are also afraid of ICE).

According to inewsource:

The San Diego County Registrar of Voters is so far falling short of some of its goals for hiring bilingual poll workers speaking Vietnamese, Chinese and Filipino for each of the 220 vote centers. Federal law requires language assistance and voting materials to be provided in those languages — and in Spanish, where the county has secured enough fluent poll workers.

... and ...

The San Diego County Registrar of Voters’ Office exceeded its goal for hiring Spanish-speaking bilingual poll workers, with 237 hired as of Oct. 15.

But based on the numbers from mid-October, most vote centers will lack poll workers speaking Chinese, Filipino and Vietnamese, three of the four federally mandated languages. The county had enlisted 57 poll workers speaking Filipino, 36 speaking Chinese and 24 speaking Vietnamese.

For other languages covered under state and local laws, the county has so far hired far fewer.

As of mid-October, the Registrar’s Office has hired only one poll worker each who speaks Somali, Thai and Laotian and none who speak Hmong, Indonesian or Khmer. There are 23 poll workers who speak Arabic, seven who speak Persian, six who speak Hindi and five who speak Japanese.

Presumably, these people are paid. How does one 'exceed' a hiring goal and not blow out the county budget? The reporter didn't ask.

Agreed!

Vote in English or don’t vote.

We have engineered our own downfall by allowing ballots in languages other than English!

ENOUGH!

Democrats have for years and years blocked legislation making English our official language!

THIS IS AMERICA! WE SPEAK ENGLISH!

Right - generally speaking, applicants for U.S. citizenship through naturalization must demonstrate the ability to read, write, and speak basic English.

“In the latest migrant sob story from the wokester press,”

It doesn’t make sob. It makes me puke. The way this country has pandered to the invaders is sickening.

Also sickening are the millions who have lived here for decade upon decade (especially Hispanic) who have so little respect for America that they refuse to learn English, and who fly Mexican flags instead of American flags.

Fie! on all of them.

ICE should offer volunteer translators at no cost.

EC

Trump et al had SIX YEARS in office and FOUR YEARS (on-deck in the wilderness to at least PLAN) to fix this kind of garbage.

Didn't bother. Couldn't be troubled. Nope.

GOP interested? Nope. It would make our donors mad.

So stupid on the part of anyone normal who depends on the Federal Teat to blow this issue off.

So self-defeating to just kick this can down the road.

But they did.

SAVE America Act? Nope. House and Senate majorities? GOP POTUS? Nope, we don't want it. We don't want to fix the obvious voter fraud voting by illegals who number in the TENS OF MILLIONS now.

We don't want it.

Stop talking about it, everyone.

Why not keep talking about it?

Quitting is NOT an option!

How they heck can they cross a street, drive, take medication, and so many other things properly and without being a hazard to themself or others if they don’t understand the language here?
