One of the two counties in Florida with all the problems has every word intheir ballot written in three languages, English, Spanish and a third that I do not recognize. Each language is printed in a different color. It must cost a fortune to print the ballots in color.

Since knowledge of English, both written and spoken , is a requirement for citizenship, I do not think that any ballots should be printed in langauges other than English.

Naturalized citizens are allegedly required to know English to become citizens.

But there is no requirement that anchor babies and children of naturalized citizens learn English.

When I moved to Chicago’s inner city, I often went to the house of a friend. His 80+ year old grandmother was born and raised and lived her whole entire life in the same Chicago neighborhood where everyone spoke Polish. She spoke Polish and nothing else. She read the Polish newspaper. The church was all Polish (and a little Latin).

My first Chicago landlady spoke only Slovak and about 20 words of English. At least she knew more English that my friend’s grandmother.
