From Times Wire Reports
The U.S. Department of Justice has reached agreement with San Diego County to ensure that voters receive translation assistance or materials in Spanish, Tagalog and Vietnamese.
Justice officials said Wednesday the settlement was reached after it was determined that the county had not complied with sections of the federal Voting Rights Act requiring outreach to minority voters.
The department said that despite “good-faith efforts,” the county failed to provide enough translators at polling places or enough translated materials.
