Gabe Osterhout was quoted in a Nov. 5 Idaho Press article, “Canyon County reversal on Spanish at the polls could affect Hispanic voter turnout,” on how Canyon County’s decision to allow poll workers to assist voters in Spanish could affect Hispanic voter participation in the midterm elections.
“It will be difficult to measure the impact of this change on voter turnout, especially since voter participation is already historically high for a midterm cycle,” Osterhout said. “But this represents a step toward more voter inclusion.”
