1. Amazing. Translation, if the state is red they WILL violate your rights to vote if you are not W

2. Jesus. This is nothing new. Even states like Arizona and Texas provide it.

This has always been a federal requirement, no?

4. There is no line they wont cross

6. Absolultely disgusting

10. Texas used to be subject to Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act

The DOJ used Section 5 to force the state to provide ballots in all required languages. My county is subject to DOJ cease and desist order that requires spanish speaking poll workers at all polling locations

11. Its incredible to me how people can justify doing such things

There is a lot of common ground Republicans can try to appeal to minorities and sway them to vote for them (like they tried in 2000-2012). But at this point they just settled for taking away their constitutionally protected rights. Definitely the epitome of a shithole party. This should be in itself considered a hate crime and they should be stripped from the status as a political party.

3. Ballots in Miami-Dade County are in 3 languages.

English, Spanish and Kreole. I guess the rednecks upstate have a problem with things like this.

5. Why aren't they in Russian as well?

All those Russian women are coming over to give birth to anchor babies.

7. Future Russian spies with dual citizenship...

8. Meh, by the time they grow up into adults we will have already become Russia #2

I mean, the majority of our government is Russian. They are making damned sure it stays that way through the SCOTUS, gerrymandering the mid-terms, and anything else they can think of.

Do I sound pessimistic to you?

12. I do not think they are citizens can't vote. If they were citizens they would not have anchor babies

Puerto Ricans can vote no problem except maybe language

9. US judge orders 32 Florida counties to help Puerto Ricans vote
