Fluent Spanish speaker in Travis county wants to volunteer and I gave

her the volunteer number for the county but is there another number/person she can contact? I heard today from a District Official that it is the responsibility of the party in power to provide an interpreter at every precinct. You know the repukes are not interested in doing that but I thought it was an interesting fact.

3. My Dad was an election judge for years

and it is the law. I always served as my father's interpreter when needed.

5. Probably because not too many people report it

for one. Two: This state is dominated by repukes who know that Spanish speaking citizens will probably vote democratic. Other than that, I am not sure.
