A federal judge ordered 32 Florida counties to provide ballots in Spanish beginning next year, stating that failure to do so would be a violation of the Voting Rights Act.

The order was in the form of a preliminary injunction in a case brought by voters who were educated in Puerto Rico and are lacking proficiency in English, The Palm Beach Post reported.

“Compliance with this Order is not optional,” Chief Judge Mark Walker of the Northern District of Florida Gainesville Division wrote in a Friday ruling. “This Court will not hesitate to use every tool the law provides to enforce this Order.”

Judge Walker reportedly noted that Section 4(e) of the Voting Rights Act “prohibits English-only elections for those citizens — yes, citizens — educated in
Puerto Rico in Spanish.” (emphasis in original) Therefore, he ordered that the 32 counties in question must provide voters with ballots in Spanish starting with Florida’s primary election scheduled for March 17, 2020…. (Excerpted from Fox News, article by Ronn Blitzer)

Shall we once again point out that previous immigrants from many other countries did not have ballots printed in their home tongue. They had to learn English to vote. What a concept…

I believe God would have us do whatever possible to ensure that all American citizens are able to vote. I adamantly disagree with the requirement that all American must speak English. Number one- It would require a huge “police state” to enforce it. Two, it is a free America and speaking whatever language I want should be accepted by the rest of us.

    This is USA, English is our language. I work in immigration and know that to vote LEGALLY that must be a United States citizen. That means they have free language classes available. Enough is enough- learn the language or go home.
    God deliver this nation from foolish compromise. May we stand strong for the principles You gave us.

How are they going to know who is Puerto Ricans or illegals? Florida can’t even their ballets counted right. I think this another way for illegals to vote.
