"Making bilingual ballots would be like so mixed with languages that the majority of people that vote would not be able to understand what the election was all about. There is a lot if proof that Hillary is bad for the nation but there are many people that will vote for her even if she is bad for the nation."

Citizenship used to require a minimal level of english articulation and literacy. The law still requires it, but the people who administer the program undermine the requirements. I agree that Balkanizing ballots is a bad idea. There is nothing wrong with advertising in other languages, but requiring the elections to cater to every subculture that does not want to acculturate is a bad precedent.
