But, really, is it not true that the legal requirements for becoming a citizen through the naturalization process, and being allowed to exercise the privilige of voting, include demonstrating ability to read and understand the English language?
This is why I cannot understand printing voting ballots in foreign languages. I’m not sure about which nation our government bureaucrats, not to mention certain highly-placed elected officials, are striving to serve.

In answer to your question, yes.

I can’t condone printing *any* gov’t paperwork in other languages. If private ventures choose to do so in order to cater to their market, that’s their overhead and the free market at work. Absent today’s political factor in that issue, I have no problem with private entities doing that. But it just keeps piling on in every sector of American life.
