What about the fact that there have been Spanish speaking communities in places like Texas, California, and Florida before there were English ones? What about people who speak English but whose understanding of what they are voting for would benefit by having it in their native language? What about native Americans?

Reservations are already exempt from certain federal laws, so they could be an exception. However I doubt there are any more than a couple hundred people who are born in the US who can’t speak any English or have basic literacy who aren’t physically or mentally able to speak English. Russian was my first language and I speak both languages fluently and without an “accent” and I’m no savant.
