Missing the Point in Washington State
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer notes, in "4 counties to use non-English ballots," that the state's Adams County will be sending Spanish bilingual ballots to all 6,644 registered voters.
Adams County Auditor Nancy McBroom, argues that "If someone comes in and needs help, they shouldn't have to drag a family member along or depend on a busy poll worker." Ask them to learn the language before showing up at the polls? How dare you. Instead soak the taxpayers once more in the name of political correctness.
Sadly, these costly bilingual ballots do not guarantee a more informed vote, as I discussed here.
