I am glad I did it. It really showed me how the process works. We first met for about 3 hours at the Reagan Library, for which we were also paid. It isn't much but I would have done it for free. My only drawback was getting up so early.
I don't think it is a requirement to speak spanish. They did ask, but I just said I only wish to speak English. They do need bilinguals, but I don't think they can demand every pollworker be that, lest they would be discriminating. There isn't THAT many spanish speaking only voters that they need to require every worker be spanish speaking. You can ask to see the records that show the demographics.
