See if you can square this liberals. The Fed's have passed a statute that says any state with 5% or more of any one minority, such as Hispanics must have ballots and instructions printed in said minorities language. Likewise Federal Law states that cities and states must abide by Federal Immigration Law. If you are for one law are you for the other?

Al Gore's financial statement in 2000, when he ran for President, stated Gore had a net worth of $700,000. His most recent net worth statement has him at $172,000,000.00.Much of that money was made from companies that are heavily invested in the oil business or was made from direct dealings with Oil countries. I f you are against man made climate change are you a supporter of Al Gore?

Al Gore, JF? The Al gore who is the Guru of man-made global warming? The guy who said "the earth is millions of degrees just below the surface???" Hummmm. I believe Al, is the last vestiges of the real "liberalism." Donald Trump's "exposure" of the entire Marxist cabal leaves only the extreme hypocrisy behind!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP!!! GOD BLESSED AMERICA AND THE FREE-WORLD!!! Now; "DRAIN THAT {RADICAL} SWAMP!!!"

America Only Loc: From the right hand of God

Al Gore is a mental defect! He claims (remember) that he invented the digital watch and claims he invented the internet.....now what ORBIT is Gore in?

Nutter Loc: Fly Over Zone

Didn't Al Gore make most of his acquired fortune from selling his broadcast station "Current TV".

JFlorio Loc: Seminole Florida

He sold one station to Qatar. He also has about 100,000 shares of apple.

You can tell Gore is richer. He obviously eats better. He looks like he has doubled his weight in the past few years.

I don't know about this law, but the feds have limited power over the states regarding elections.

How many states must therefore have their ballots in Arabic because of their Muslim population? Now, before you say that Arabic is not the language of Muslims, the serious Muslims know that they must read the Quran in Arabic in order for it to count in Mohammeds eyes.

JFlorio Loc: Seminole Florida

Remember the population has to be 5% or more.

no propaganda please Loc: moon orbiting the third rock from the sun

There are several areas in Minnesota where the population of Muslims is about 15% and the same is true in Michigan. how long before the state has 5% Muslim population. Is that part of the proMuslim goal of the left?

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Is this law you are referring to J?
The Language Minority Provisions of the Voting Rights Act

Congress enacted the language minority provisions because it found that:

[T]hrough the use of various practices and procedures, citizens of language minorities have been effectively excluded from participation in the electoral process. Among other factors, the denial of the right to vote of such minority group citizens is ordinarily directly related to the unequal educational opportunities afforded them resulting in high illiteracy and low voting participation. The Congress declares that, in order to enforce the guarantees of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the United States Constitution, it is necessary to eliminate such discrimination by prohibiting these practices, and by prescribing other remedial devices.

Legal Requirements

The language minority provisions of the Voting Rights Act require that when a covered state or political subdivision provides registration or voting notices, forms, instructions, assistance, or other materials or information relating to the electoral process, including ballots, it shall provide them in the language of the applicable minority group as well as in the English language.

The requirements of the law are straightforward: all election information that is available in English must also be available in the minority language so that all citizens will have an effective opportunity to register, learn the details of the elections, and cast a free and effective ballot.

Covered Jurisdictions

Covered jurisdictions are determined by the Census Bureau based upon a formula set out in the Voting Rights Act. The most recent determinations for Section 203 were made on October 13, 2011.

Covered language minorities are limited to American Indians, Asian Americans, Alaskan Natives, and Spanish-heritage citizens - the groups that Congress found to have faced barriers in the political process.

Section 203 Coverage Formula

A jurisdiction is covered under Section 203 where the number of United States citizens of voting age is a single language group within the jurisdiction:

Is more than 10,000, or
Is more than five percent of all voting age citizens, or
On an Indian reservation, exceeds five percent of all reservation residents; and
The illiteracy rate of the group is higher than the national illiteracy rate

As to your second observation..It appears more so that Gore who has extradited billion on his hyped up theories of Climate Change has double downed to back his "oh that bad oil business"that damages so much when fracking or moving around the world, etc...

What an amazing FRAUD this POS really is...

Would love to read whatever it is you have that talks about this...

JFlorio Loc: Seminole Florida

I would have to say you nailed it. I was driving when I heard Limbaugh talking about it.

KiraSeer2016

Would those minority languages include gobbledygook and doubletalk?

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

It was in effect until 1996 with slightly different verbiage...The argument was "English is the language of the country"..Repealed then and brought back in 2011 when it was determined a hinder to the ethnic groups previously addressed...Discrimination act...Still stands in place as well..

It is up for challenge again on the bases that the Federal government can not dictate how States handle their election process and that is overly burdensome to the states..However its unlikely to go anywhere... Hasn't even made it the floor for consideration....
