As I was leaving for work this morning, a woman approached me and asked: "Anybody living here speak Spanish?". I said "no" and the man who was with her echoed my "no" and wrote something on a pad. It appeared that he was recording my answer. They then walked over to my neighbor's house and rang the doorbell. I have no idea what their intentions were.

But it's not a Hispanic neighborhood. They won't be able to manipulate many votes.Mon Sep 21, 2009 11:31:14 pm

the strategy shall be designed to cater to a non-hispanic community then.
They should have investigated which other languages are spoken at my house.

They were too old for that to be likely. They both appeared to be in their 40's or 50's.Mon Sep 21, 2009 11:57:29 pm

Oh...well, maybe they were doing it for a child and they didn't want the child doing it because it might be dangerous...or maybe they were just doing it to see how many people around there speak Spanish, just out of curiosity...Tue Sep 22, 2009 12:11:20 am

That is an odd thing to do for curiosity. Maybe they were unemployed for a very long time and had nothing else better to do.
