1. might as well put them in french too so that the canadians can vote also.

2. For legal citizens, arent they required to take the citizenship test in english? Why would they then need voting instructions in spanish

3. English defeated German by a single vote to become the official language of the United States in a 1795 Congressional debate.
   Officially there are 350 languages spoken in the US. Why should Spanish be given a preference??

4. Here in California, where we have some common sense (not a lot, I'll grant you), you are able to select your language preference when you first register to vote. And then guess what? If you want it mailed to you (which I opted for, I turn mine in in-person), they will mail you a ballot in your preferred language. Isn't that amazing?!! Personally, I believe that if you are going to live in the United States — as opposed to staying on a work visa or as a foreign exchange student or whatnot — you should at least take the time to learn the English language. I would learn French if I moved to France, or German if I want to live in Germany. If you have the resources (time, textbook, money for education, etc.), then there is no excuse not to do it. We can cater to people of all backgrounds (assuming they have good intentions, of course), but we can't cater to the world's several dozen languages simultaneously. Voting is done no more than once every two years; having to communicate with coworkers, neighbors, friends and friends of friends, and total strangers is done on a daily basis. Learning English, even at a basic level, will make your life that much easier if you decide to live here.

5. They’re suppressing my vote, no habla español pendejos.

6. How about we make everything Spanish? Why not they come here to make U.S. the same place where they fled from.

12. As a Mexican American I learned the English language and also my God given rights. And if you don't know English or the constitution then you are not helping preserve the American 🇺🇸 way!

16. Everything is voter suppression. Type 2 pencil is voter suppression. Voters should be allowed to use their feces to mark their choices.

18. Well if you make some in Spanish you still can't Spanish their names????

19. If I need an ID to buy a gun, EVERYONE needs an ID to vote!

29. If you can't speak English go back to your country. Let's go Brandon

31. It’s easy for people to say “learn English”. I say why not learn another language and make your self smarter? People that don’t want this as a standard thing are just scared to learn another language.

32. So, the USA is the Mexico 4.0 ????
