As the general election approaches, a civil rights lawsuit alleging York County didn't do enough to accommodate Spanish-speaking voters faces a deadline this week related to a possible settlement agreement.
Settlement talks are continuing in the federal lawsuit filed by advocacy organization CASA and LatinoJustice Fund over a lack of services for Spanish-speaking voters.
The county and the advocacy organizations are in the process of negotiating a settlement, according to attorney Rayza Goldsmith.
In response to a lawsuit, York County agreed to make bilingual sample ballots available at every precinct and provide additional interpreters for the Nov. 8 election.
The injunction is settled, but the lawsuit seeking to have the county adhere to provisions of the Voting Rights Act remains.
