They already are here in California.
Everyone gets a ballot (and voter info book) in English, Spanish and Chinese.

NO. According to the citizenship rules for the United States of America, a person must learn to read and communicate in the English language.
Therefore, ALL voting information should be in English ONLY, per the citizenship rules.

No, I don't think they should be in other languages than English. When an immigrant comes to the United States, they are expected to learn English since mostly everything in our country is written in English. Our language is English, therefor we should have our ballots in English.

Yes, the landscape of the United States is changing rapidly and the percentage of the population that speaks only Spanish is quickly increasing. In order to ensure that citizens (that is Americans) can understand who it is that they are voting for, and what ballot measures they are voting on, the ballots should be offered in other languages. People who argue that immigrants should learn English in order to become citizens should ask themselves why their ancestors were not forced to learn Cherokee or Mohawk.

No, because all of the original U.S. govt. laws, etc. and most still today, are all in English. Although English is not the national language, it is what our government uses to communicate to the public.

I am a firm believer that if you live in a country you must read, write, and speak the language of that country.
I am an American living in Mexico...I speak the language. If I was allowed to vote it would be written in Spanish, guaranteed!

No. English is our language.

no, no country has ever made it having two languages as their official language. Not only that but, if you moved to France do you think that everyone would cater to us like that? You move to a new country you learn the language, its that simple.

Nope - if you are going to have a say in who our elected leaders are, the very least you can do is to learn our national language.
