Texas Vietnamese Voting Update
Two translators stood by to help, but they said they were not busy, since most Vietnamese preferred to use relatives to translate.
"We haven't had any problems," said Hieu Binh, one of the translators.
Some precincts refused to let Vietnamese voters use their own translators. At All Saints Lutheran Church on West Bellfort, election officials insisted Vietnamese voters work with translator Chan Ho.
"The translator is supposed to be helping them, not the family member," said Precinct 649 Alternate Judge Ruth Duson-Phillips.
Ho said the lack of a Vietnamese version of the ballot made it more difficult for about 20 voters in the precinct.
