I'm trying to understand your point here. Are you advocating the promotion of numerous non-English speaking enclaves?

I'm of the opinion that gov't documents should all be in English to promote the inclusion and integration of immigrants into American society. (Current law and practices notwithstanding).

So long as there are immigrants though, many will be more comfortable using their native language. So, I don't object to non-official sources, like radio and TV stations, broadcasting in another language. It would only make sense that advertising on those sources be in that language, whether they are political or commercial ads.

I see these things as separate and distinct, since one (the official gov't one) is funded by the taxpayer, and the other (the commercial stations) are privately funded.

Did I miss your point?

The law allows people to bring paper with them to vote. If they are marginally literate they can record there selections and compare.

Perhaps we should have readers on site to facilitate the illiterate and others who have no knowledge of the election to follow the instructions of the liberal media.
