Related: About this forumArizona puts wrong election date on voter ID cards (Correct date in English, wrong date in Spanish)
http://www.abc15.com//dpp/news/region_phoenix_metro/central_phoenix/Maricopa-County-Elections-Department-admits-error-on-date-of-general-election-on-voter-ID-cardsThe Maricopa County Elections Department mistakenly listed the wrong date of the upcoming general election on an official government In the corner of the document, it says November 6th in English but in Spanish it reads 8 de Noviembre, the 8th of November.
Election day is November 6th, not November 8th.
The "Good News" is that the only people affected by the mistake are those who received their voter ID card document in person at the recorder's office and not through the mail. The Elections Department spokesperson estimates fewer than 50 people received a document showing the incorrect date.

Only have to look at GOP history of voter suppression.

(18,219 posts)4. This is like the old joke
about telling the other party the wrong date to vote. This time, suspiciously, it is real and it is targetting the Spanish speaking population.
But I am sure it was just a typo.

Sounds exactly like that old joke to me. Only now it's not a joke.
