Maricopa County Arizona Latinos Get False Voting Information (VIDEO)




Maricopa County Arizona Latinos TOLD TO VOTE TWO DAYS AFTER ELECTION DAY  (VIDEO)








"For the second time in as many weeks, election officials in Maricopa County, Arizona are in hot water for providing Hispanic voters with false information about when election day is.

Last week, ThinkProgress reported on how Maricopa County Elections Department officials attached a document to voter registration forms that gave the wrong date for anyone reading it in Spanish. The English version of the same document provides the correct date — November 6 — next to "8 de Noviembre."

At the time, county officials dismissed the error as a clerical mistake, saying that only 50 people received the incorrect document. But a local ABC News affiliate has uncovered at least one more incident of the wrong date being disseminated in Spanish by Maricopa's Elections Department.

Paper bookmarks found in three separate election counters throughout the county again give November 8th as election day, and again the mistake is reserved to just the Spanish version of the document."* Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, and Ben Mankiewicz (Host, Turner Classic Movies) break down this egregious error that seems a little more than coincidental.
