Comments on Bilingual Ballots? Discontinue the Practice Now!

Go to If I get smart with you....how will you know?Add a commentGo to Bilingual Ballots? Discontinue the Practice Now!

I'm not afraid of anything.......a rather mild distaste for vote fraud...which is the intent of the continuation of this proposal.

You see you prefer to switch it to race......I stick with whether something is legal.  If someone who becomes a citizen has to understand English....why is they a need for Bilingual ballots?

CD,l your premise is idiotic and racist. Why are you so
Afraid of foreigners? As part of the extreme right fringe of the Republican party, you are going into political obscurity, and it will not be at the hands of bilinguals.

Literacy tests?  What the hell does that have to do with what I am talking about.......

I'm talking about minimalizing voter fraud..........

I'm an election office, too.......

We have two ballots....English and Spanish......isn't that being discriminatory?

i am an election judge

we have several people from foreign countries in our precinct. we have english ballots

they need an interpreter to help them understand, in particular the propositions that take up several paragraphs, even multiple pages -- even Americans have trouble understanding the language of those.

but a person can only hel pone voter and notm ore

so each foreign language speaker needs their own interpreter.

and have you ever seen how long it takes for such people to struggle through a ballot -- even the simplest?

you are so realistic here.
