Bilingual workers at polling locations for the Governor’s election? The ONLY voters who should be eligible to vote should speak English and be U.S. citizens. If they are not, they should not be permitted to vote. There should be no need for bilingual workers at any polling station. Speaking English should be a prerequisite for ANY American election. This is outrageous!!
