[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People asked this 20 years ago, and its as perplexing today as then.

Almost all election content is in English, outside of a few targeted adds here and there. So either this is pure virtue signaling, or very low information voters are voting. Not sure which is worse. [/quote]

You might be perplexed, but most people are not perplexed. Maybe you're one of those very low information voters you're worried about?[/quote]

Maybe I am, but I'm willing to learn. Where are non-English speaking voters getting information about things like bond issuances, Board of Education positions, initiatives and the like? [/quote]

I mean, you are fooling yourself if you think most English-speaking voters are well-educated on bonds and down-ballot races, but to answer your question, the Montgomery County Voters Guide is published in Spanish, as is the League of Women Voters guide, and Vote411 is available in Spanish, and provides personalized information depending on our address. https://www.vote411.org/es[/quote]
