Translator Electioneering in Illinois

On Friday, the Lake County election board was ordered by a federal judge to put bilingual translators in all 32 East Chicago precinct polling places to comply with sections of the Voting Rights Act. Wieser said they had few problems with the last-minute arrangements, with only one complaint of a translator who was suspected of campaigning for a City Council candidate. Wieser said that translator was moved to a different council district.
