A faction within the House of Representatives GOP caucus wants to eliminate bilingual ballots and translation assistance as part of the renewal package for the 1965 Voter Rights Act.
They claim with the usual arrogance that bilingual ballots increase the prospects of voter fraud and place an undue burden on local government.
Well shee-it, why stop there? Why not simply eliminate all balloting and declare this congress a New Long Parliament, annoint themselves with Texas Crude Oil and strut around like Cromwell's puritan grandees?
These people are utterly corrupt and completely prideful which is a bad combination for the public good my friends.
It is also a pretty unsubtle indicator as to where they think the hispanic vote is gonna go this fall.
My god we are far far away from the California GOP's ardent attempts to court hispanics in the 1980's aren't we?
