I thought it was a Federal Law as well. BUT assuming that is true, how do the States differ on how many are allowed to have multi-lingual ballots? IF the voters are all Citizens, and Citizenship is of course, a Federal dominated law, then why are so many people allowed to vote, if they are not citizens?

Bilingual Ballots: Election Fairness or Fraud?http://www.englishfirst.org/eff/efbb.htm

U.S. Census Bureau data demonstrates that multilingual voting materials do not increase minority voter participation. Hispanic voter participation has declined since enactment of the bilingual ballot provisions, and the gap between white voting participation and Hispanic citizens’ voting participation has widened. Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Current Population Reports, Series P-20, Nos. 174, 228, 293, 344, 383, 414 and 453.
