I go to my local polling place and I see a sign that says "Vote here" and underneath that, it says "Vote aqui". WTF? Why the hell does it say it in Spanish at all? Only citizens can vote, and to become one, you have to be in compliance with the following:

- A period of continuous residence and physical presence in the United States
- An ability to read, write, and speak English
- Good moral character
- Knowledge of the principles of the U.S. Constitution
- Favorable disposition toward the United States

Ability to read, write, and speak English. So why would you even need a sign in any other language than English for something only citizens can do?

If they couldn't read English, they wouldn't be able to vote on the ballot either. It is only in English

What I love about my polling place is that once you get to the door, there is a disabled access symbol on a sign that says 'curbside voting available, inquire inside'. WTF?!!!!! Oh sure, now that I've dragged my as$ all the way through the door with my crutches, purse, etc. I'm going to ask you to come out to my car. You know what? Next time I think I'll do it just to prove a point. Crap. Then I would have to clean out the van. Never mind!
