Translator scheme? Brooklyn opponents blast polling booth plan for interpreters
'Why should someone on ballot be allowed to run this operation?'
Mayor Bill de Blasio’s plan to send teams of Russian and Haitian interpreters out to polling booths on Election Day does not translate well with Republican officials.
As reported in the New York Post, City Hall has hired teams of interpreters to be stationed outside 20 polling stations in south Brooklyn tomorrow to help Russian- and Haitian Creole- speaking individuals through the voting process.
