... for some reason they felt the need to mention to go vote early, and showed clips of four different places to vote with signs that indicated early voting, and EVERY SIGN was written in English, and then had SPANISH ALSO, and one sign had TWO additional FOREIGN LANGUAGES on it.

Can someone tell me WHY a voting place in AMERICA needs SPANISH written on the sign? If you can't READ ENGLISH, if I'm not mistaken, you CAN'T be a LEGAL citizen of America, and if you're not a LEGAL citizen of America, then what in the HELL are you doing at a VOTING place, thus, WHY is there SPANISH on signs at VOTING stations?

I have felt for YEARS that English be declared our Official National Language.

Just imagine the savings in not having to print Spanish all over products or
written materials.

Even more savings by not having to print at least a half dozen or more languages
in phone books, on tax booklets, on voter information booklets...
and the list goes on and on.

I think it is wrong and needs to be adjusted. If one was to immigrate to another country from here,
it would be assumed that you would learn that native tongue just to function in that society.
