The ability to speak English is a requirement to become a citizen. Is it enforced? I don't know. But being that it is the law, every voter who is legal and eligible should be able to read english. No need for another language.

I agree with you whole-heartedly and I am an immigrant so I do believe that all immigrants should develop some level of English fluency. The sad part is that the Voting Rights Act makes multiple language pamplets mandatory. Need to change the Voting Rights Act to get back to primarily English.
