Election boards in Westchester County and Fishkill, New York are using invalid Spanish voter application forms outlawed by the New York State Board of Elections eight years ago.
These invalid forms ask would be Spanish voters in Spanish: “ser cuidadano norte americano:” are you a citizen of North America? The corrected form out of the Albany web site asks in Spanish: “ser cuidadano estadounidense:”are you a United States citizen?
When asked to explain this major discrepancy, Reginald Lafayette of the Westchester County BOE expressed surprise, saying. “We’ve never had a complaint on this,” and said he would “give it to our translators.”
The Fishkill Town Clerk was not available for comment, but John Conklin, Director of Public Information of the State BoE said “That’s wrong. They should not be using that form. . .we haven’t used it for eight years.”
He went on to say in spite of the fact “we’ve instructed everyone to get rid of [those forms ]they still crop up. Conklin said every so often this form pops up in Suffolk County as well.
He was unaware the Westchester and Fishkill application forms still relied on the North American citizenship requirement rather than the US citizen requirement to vote.
Nevertheless, a local source paints a far different picture of the deference given to Spanish voter applicants. When the source contacted the Dutchess County BOE asking if a Mexican Matricula Consular ID card was an acceptable form of photo ID, the source was told “Yes.”
Mr. Conklin told this reporter the Martricula card “is not an acceptable form of ID.” The US Department of Justice and FBI “have concluded the Matricula consular is not a reliable form of identification, due to no existence of any means of verifying the true identity of the card holder.”

Someone who is a US citizen but has no command of the English language has no business voting.
North American Citizenship? I guess I must have been sleeping in civics class, since I’ve never heard of such a thing.

Imagine if patriots in every county of every state made a review of what is going on with this situation in their community. It would have to be checked again leading up to the next election cycle. Interesting.
Then what he should do is issue a corrective letter informing the head of those offices to respond with a letter indicating they are in compliance, with the usual threat of perjury for lying being implicit.
On a much lesser scale, back when email was a big mystery, the company I worked for notified everybody that they would now use email - and to make sure everybody knew how to do it, they had to create a new email, not merely hit "reply" to send back their acceptance.
Si, soy un gringo.He said in what would soon be the primary language of his new land.
If this seems incredible, just look at the demographics. In one lifetime, this country has contracepted, sodomized and aborted itself to death. Our grandkids won't even wonder why they press "Uno" for Spanish.
