Florida must provide Spanish-language ballots in 2020, federal judge orders

A federal judge ordered 32 Florida counties to provide ballots in Spanish beginning next year, stating that failure to do so would be a violation of the Voting Rights Act.

The order was in the form of a preliminary injunction in a case brought by voters who were educated in Puerto Rico and are lacking proficiency in English, The Palm Beach Post reported.

"Compliance with this Order is not optional," Chief Judge Mark Walker of the Northern District of Florida Gainesville Division wrote in a Friday ruling. "This Court will not hesitate to use every tool the law provides to enforce this Order."

Republicans had best get busy doing some Spanish language stumping. Taking Florida in 2020 is a must.

This is not damn Mexico, or any other Spanish speaking country if they want to vote, they need to learn how to read and write in English. Probably half of them voting will be illegals anyway.

What is wrong with these judges? Even have authority over the President. This so wrong. Most of them are Obama appointed.

Northwest Woodsman: The main thing lacking is the intelligence to understand issues and vote for the best and most honest and capable candidates. These are exactly the people who keep electing and re-electing corrupt politicians like Mad Max, Cummings, and Occasional Cortex!

That is bullshit and should be illegal. First you need to learn to speak English to become a citizen, then second, you need to assimilate.

That Obama judge is a traitor and needs a bullet between the eyes.
