NBCAsianAmerica I bet you illegal immigrants have no problem filling out Western Union forms to send back money to their countries of origin.

NBCAsianAmerica YOUR IN AMERICA LEARN ENGLISH!!!

NBCAsianAmerica To become a citizen, I was under the impression that learning English was required.🤔🤔

NBCAsianAmerica If you can't speak out language then you have no business voting

NBCAsianAmerica 'Language assistance': put an X next to all the democrat candidates'

NBCAsianAmerica Speak English or move out! This is America!

MEDIATIONS99 NBCAsianAmerica If you can’t convince them, confuse them.

NBCAsianAmerica Well here is a thought, learn to read, write and speak english. Can't to do that, can't vote.

NBCAsianAmerica Funny how folks could read enough English to *register* to vote, but then can't negotiate a ballot? Yep....

NBCAsianAmerica if its to hard to push a button or check a box next to a name.. you are to stupid to be voting.

NBCAsianAmerica Get English language assistance BEFORE the election... most of the problems in this country today directly or indirectly related to immigrants not assimilating, not learning the language.

NBCAsianAmerica Good , it prevents foreign meddling

NBCAsianAmerica Sorry, but it you cannot speak, read or understand English, then you have no right to be a citizen or vote, period. Assimilate or get the heck out of our country.

NBCAsianAmerica Just goes to show that sad state of America after 8 years of Obama rule

NBCAsianAmerica Hold up shouldnt you know english in order to vote? I Mean now illegal aliens can vote which is ridiculous.

NBCAsianAmerica Bs.

NBCAsianAmerica How about they learn English?

NBCAsianAmerica It is only a problem for NON-CITIZENS so they should not be voting anyways! Democrats have to cheat to win elections!

NBCAsianAmerica Language assistance? We the tax payers refuse to pay for language assistance! Speak English! This is America!

NBCAsianAmerica Guess it's important to come here legally. That gives you time to learn the language.

NBCAsianAmerica FakenewsNBC Answer the REAL QUESTION, How Many Illegals voted in the Midterms? Answer that one that would be REAL REPORTING or doesn’t that fit NBCs LEFT agenda!

sudischuricht NBCAsianAmerica So what? Illegal voting is massive! Huge number of counties had more vote than registered to vote! This is a minor issue compared w/massive DEM & Chinese Communist medaling-CCP $ to DNC & RINOs in public record via CCP “non profits”! CCP already pulled this tactic in Australia!

NBCAsianAmerica How are illegal aliens going to vote without language assistance? Good point DNC, I mean NBC.

NBCAsianAmerica No speaky English, no votey!

NBCAsianAmerica Number 1 criteria for becoming a US Citizen is reading, writing, understanding and speaking English. So, if they failed here, they do not have the right to vote. This is a non issue. Next....

NBCAsianAmerica All voting in the United States of America should be in English only. MAGA

NBCAsianAmerica NBC News needs to be removed as a news organization and be labeled as fake newspaper. Hell Alex Jones is giving some real news that these news media are not reporting.

NBCAsianAmerica First rule I order to function in America is to at least know to to read and speak English. Stop with the bullshit that we need to make it easy for non-English people to vote who are most likely Not a Citizen.

NBCAsianAmerica Language assistance? 😂🤣🤣😂🤣

NBCAsianAmerica Not a voting requirement yet. Even illiterate folks were allowed to vote in the past. However, it allowed the 'assistance' to determine the way these folks voted, and that's what's still happening.

NBCAsianAmerica Speak, read, and vote in English or GO HOME!

NBCAsianAmerica ** To become a U.S. citizen, one of the requirement is basic command of the English Language . . .so how are people voting who don't speak English?

NBCAsianAmerica Si no hablas y no lees inglés, entonces no puedes votar. 당신이 영어를 말하고 읽지 않는다면 당신은 투표하지 않습니다. 如果你不说英语,那么你就不会投票。 Si vous ne parlez pas et ne lisez pas l'anglais, vous ne pourrez pas voter.

NBCAsianAmerica I don't see the problem here.

NBCAsianAmerica Someone showed up at a voting booth not knowing what was on the ballot? You don't need translation....you need laughed at.

NBCAsianAmerica Aren’t illegals required to learn English to become a citizen? Is this more proof of illegals voting?

NBCAsianAmerica This is why democrats love immigration. They don’t learn to speak English and the democrats push block voting in these communities. So they go and look for the person they push and vote. Instant vote. No thinking, no explaining, just vote.

NBCAsianAmerica It’s America. We speak English

NBCAsianAmerica Language assistance? EnglishPrimary

NBCAsianAmerica You can't speak English you don't belong here .

NBCAsianAmerica English only to vote. It’s a requirement to become a citizen.

NBCAsianAmerica Assimilate and learn English.

NBCAsianAmerica Didn’t they tell them at the border? All they need to know is ‘D-E-M’ means free stuff on the tax payers dime.

NBCAsianAmerica Why are people who can’t read or speak any English voting? Sounds like illegals committing fraud to me.

NBCAsianAmerica English is the language of the US, despite the efforts of you and the rest of the DemocRAT media arm.

NBCAsianAmerica Learn the language and try again.

NBCAsianAmerica If voters are confused, they shouldn’t vote.

NBCAsianAmerica 'Language Assistance' damn that trump

NBCAsianAmerica If you can’t read English don’t vote and learn the language, I mean it’s part of citizenship test after all

NBCAsianAmerica Agreed learn the language of the land or gtfo

NBCAsianAmerica Learn f%*kin English. My grandparents did.

NBCAsianAmerica Learn English you are in America

NBCAsianAmerica When I am in foreign countries, I am expected to read the language OF THAT nation. I am expected to OBEY THEIR laws.

NBCAsianAmerica Anything to help Democrats stay relevant

NBCAsianAmerica This is a joke, right? What other country would allow their voters to cry about not being able to understand a ballot because it can't understand the language? How can you be an informed voter if you can't read or understand what the Hell is going on where you live?

NBCAsianAmerica Massive VoterFraud against the GOP voters so no surprise that FakenewsNBC is pushing this distraction

NBCAsianAmerica and MarkDice One gets his/her citizenship after DEMONSTRATING a basic knowledge of history & American History- I know. I went through it while I was serving in US Army at the time. How could there have been 'language difficulties' encountered by US CITIZEN VOTERS?!

NBCAsianAmerica Speak/read English or don't vote!

NBCAsianAmerica If I went to Brazil would they have their elections in English for me or would I need to know Portuguese?

NBCAsianAmerica I'm glad we're still pushing the 'voter suppression' narrative. If a person can't even read English, why is he/she allowed to cancel out my vote? I am a well informed and educated citizen

NBCAsianAmerica Why would Legal American voters need language assistance? Not American Don’t Vote. Build The Wall

NBCAsianAmerica They how did they become citizens. English is required

NBCAsianAmerica Voting should be English-speaking ONLY anyway.

NBCAsianAmerica No speakee Ingrish no vote!

NBCAsianAmerica The problem isn't English, the problem was everything was in Spanish!

NBCAsianAmerica Isnt part of the test to become a citizen learning how to read English? Or do people get to vote on green cards?

NBCAsianAmerica Voter id. Paper ballots. English only. In the county north of Baltimore city I’m from a few years ago the commission passed a bill: if you do business with the government you must speak English.

NBCAsianAmerica Oh

NBCAsianAmerica This is the left. Thinking non English speaking people should be voting.

NBCAsianAmerica Not required to speak and read for citizenship and you must be a citizen to vote?

NBCAsianAmerica Maybe they should study English and be prepared for the next election?

NBCAsianAmerica Yeah Ballots are going to be printed in Russian!

NBCAsianAmerica Learnt English !!!!!

NBCAsianAmerica Voter ID. Paper ballots. Speak English in America. Problems solved. Done.

NBCAsianAmerica They can't read names

NBCAsianAmerica Want to vote? Speak the language and get an ID

NBCAsianAmerica Language assistance to vote in the United States of America? You’re fucking kidding me right?

NBCAsianAmerica So they can't figure out how to click a name on a ballot, but they understand enough of the issues to vote on them responsibly. Are you fricking kidding me?

NBCAsianAmerica No shoes, no shirt, no English, no vote.

NBCAsianAmerica Why are you allowing foreigners to vote?

NBCAsianAmerica How can people who can’t speak English make an informed decision?

NBCAsianAmerica In my travels, I have yet to hear a foreign telephone operator tell me to press 2 for English.

NBCAsianAmerica 'And you will be required to speak English!' -Barack Obama

NBCAsianAmerica

NBCAsianAmerica Language assistance? WtF? If you live in US, English is main language!

NBCAsianAmerica Easy, use paper ballots

NBCAsianAmerica Asians are having problems voting? I call shenanigans.

NBCAsianAmerica Why are people in Mexico required to know Spanish to vote? Why must only the US change to accommodate everyone?

NBCAsianAmerica First world country complaining about voting problems while supposed third world countries with multiple languages have no such problems and have voter ID mandatory. What a joke this is! Nothing but trying to make the whole voting process dubious.

NBCAsianAmerica Learn. English.

NBCAsianAmerica Then learn. To. Read. ENGLISH

NBCAsianAmerica This is not voter suppression. We do not need to have instructions in every language. Besides, they could have solved this with a translation phone app anyway.

NBCAsianAmerica This is the United States of America. There’s no “press 1 for English and 2 for whatever you speak” when voting.

NBCAsianAmerica Record number of votes. Weird how that works out.

NBCAsianAmerica If you can't read English, you shouldn't be allowed to vote. Period.
