and you obviously do not know what you are talking about. I have most certainly read it and in fact MEMORIZED it when I was a teenager.
Sure you did....

Well damn, nothing there about printing in foreign languages...
English only ballots would violate equal protection rights and the voting rights of non English speaking US citizens...such as Puerto Ricans, Native Americans, and elderly naturalized citizens who had no English requirement to become a citizen. Sit down and take the time to read Section 203 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965
Bullshit.
{Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. }
Try again, sparky.
