Understatement of the Year in FL

Dalis Guevara, "a bilingual occupational therapist for the Osceola County [FL] School Board and a first-time poll worker in Kissimmee this year" told the Orlando Sentinel: "Hispanics complained to me, saying they couldn't properly vote [in 2000] because nobody there spoke Spanish," said Guevara, who is among a large group of Puerto Ricans who live in Osceola County. "Voting is completely different in Puerto Rico."

No doubt. Fully 90% of Puerto Rico residents speak little or no English.
