In other news it appears the Spanish translation for the ballots in TX Senate District 19 (a very hispanic district) were translated with Google Translate, giving the wrong translation for the word "run-off" as "drainage". So for many Spanish speakers the ballots informed them that there was an election drainage.
Why in God's name are they google translating ballots in TEXAS of all places? There's literally millions of Spanish speakers in Texas.
Well to paraphrase Joe Stalin: "It's not the people that cast the votes that count, it's the people who count the votes"....
Perhaps in Tejas it might read more like this: "It's not those who vote or count the ballots, but rather those who Google Translate the ballots".
Biggest likelihood en realidad would be that Public Sector workers in local and statewide Texas election departments are much more likely to be Anglo because of the Seniority based system, and that overall it's probably a lot easier to get a decent paying job as a Bi-Lingual (English-Spanish) in the Private Sector, than the State Public Sector.
Obvious local Gvt jobs such as Teachers, Cops, etc being bilingual would be a plus, since these are perceived as tangible services that impact all residents and citizens of the Lone Star State.
I suspect that State and Local Election Departments, this is not a high priority when it comes to hiring, and job roles and responsibilities.
Additionally, in all fairness to the Great State of Texas, State and local GVTs have been squeezed dry of funding for many citizen services over the past few decades as a result of political decisions, and this means that corners get cut, especially for items viewed as net EXP vs REV, where you might have an individual who gets something added to their "job responsibilities" who takes a short-cut via Google Translate, just to check the box off their list, to get back to their "core" job duties.
Or it could just be a lazy employee, etc...
Obviously we need a more extensive Root Cause Analysis (RCA) on this, since essentially it's a "near miss" that exposes the fundamental gaps when it comes to fundamental Government services provided to the Citizens of Texas.
