Voting ping!
All our ballots are in English and Spanish. Aren’t yours?
Who do I call? Will they care? Will they do anything about it? What country is this again?
Your county elections board, I guess. Probably not. No. And still trying to figure that last one out.
I’m sure there will be lots of folks in purple t-shirts to assist them.
Call your new rep on Nov. 3rd and get the law changed.
From what I remember, if a certain percentage of
constituants are non-engrish speaking, all gov’t
documents in that area must be printed in the
non-engrish speaking person’s native tounge.
It is legal. BS, but legal.
Better than that. It is mandatory that we have bilingual workers at the polls or we will be in trouble with the BOplenty admin.
We were warned.
Only if you're a wetback.
Just be glad it’s not in Mandarin..................
In fact, I had to so a double take on your title to figure out it was in spanish because I just don't see it anymore, I just translate it in some obscure process in the back of my brain. Same with running across someone that only speaks spanish. I just shift gears and move on, lots of times without knowing that I did it. It's part of the Texas culture, like it or not.

Liberalism caters to the Government welfare, bureaucratic complex.
Ballots are printed in MULTIPLE languages at taxpayer expense. You ought to see the dozens and dozens of different languages you can choose from in California alone!
All perfectly legal, friends. All paid for by YOUR tax dollars.
Been going on for decades.
Votacion Hoy! Aqui!
Not “VOTE AQUI”!
It’s VOTE AQUA BUDDHA!
Get it right!
It is the language our Constitution was written in, and that our laws are written in.
If it were the official language, all government documents would be in that language and there could be no requirement to accommodate those who do not speak English by printing up ballots and such in their native language.
SOD. Speak English or Die! ;)
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.
Si.
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?
