One of Wong's priorities is to ensure that voter materials are translated in a way that people can understand " she pointed out, for example, that there isn't an equivalent term for the word "reparations" in Cantonese or Mandarin. www.kqed.org

Sure, but kinda nutty to me that a citizen of China would have any control whatsoever over an American election.

Also hilarious that she was concerned about translating the term "reparations." Basically playing liberal bingo with the article. Just needed some references to "Latinx" and "pregnant people."

@#3 ... an American election. ...

That seems to be the operative point here.

Who decides who can vote in an election?

Are all elections an "American election" with restrictions that seem to violate state rights?

Why? Isn't that a big issue in San Francisco? One that voters might want to understand?

Yes, we understand that's why you posted it.

You can't quite say what's outrageous.

But you're sure there is something to be outraged about!

Nope, even the -------- in SF figured out they are broke and this was nonsense to begin with - the reparations committee was defunded and shut down.
