I have been seeing these signs, or ones very similar, at polling places all around the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex. Can someone explain this to me? Should you really be able to vote if you don't read english?
Report them and while you are doing it; document it. Take pics; ask who you are speaking to; note the times on everything then send to Sec of State and the State Attorney General.
Or Hmong.
Like writing “Basura” on an empty box instead of “trash.” If they can’t read the word trash, they’re not going to be able to read “basura” either, but we pose.
LoL!
Thanks for the voting rules by the way...
And the answer is, as if you didn’t know, LBJ and the rest of the socialists:
1965: Federal Voting Rights Act eliminates English-only qualification for voting.
Part of my civic duty. I hope to have a list
of laws that need to be destroyed by executive
order when I get elected as Gov. or Pres.
Voy a votar para usted!!!
:-)
Because there are people who are born in America, are citizens of this country, but stupidly never learn to speak English.
Realise this is not a new thing, there were whole generations of ethnic minorities in cities around the country that still spoke their native languages. But most of them would break into america within a generation or so.
Si.
I think the Left Coast is looking for Klingon interpreters.
Same in San Antonio area as well
has been for a while.
It’s ridiculous. My husband and I saw a translator help a non-English speaking/reading man vote yesterday. I told my friend who works in that office that I can speak English but would need a translator fluent in Swahili to read the ballot to me. She suggested I make a request to her boss.
This must be your first time voting here, right?
Where ya been?
How about I put up this Spanish sign?
“Vote Manana!”
Lol
