Editor's Note: This article was originally published on May 30, but has been brought to the front page again, since the discussion continues on the topic. Original story below:
In a about bilingual poll workers being needed, comments have been flying over the topic of multi-language government services.
In 1988, California made English the official language for government services. But a strong Spanish-speaking population is calling for more services in their native tongue to serve those with limited English abilities.
So should voting sites have bilingual services?
Tell us with your vote below and comments.
"Be able to read, write, and speak English and have knowledge and an understanding of U.S. history and government" I would say that means that you are required to be fluent in English. That being said, NO political Voting process should include bilingual materials or media, and especially not to single just one language above all the others that are spoken in this country. It is more intelligent to have everyone be fluent in English than it is to cater to all the different languages.
