Madam Chairman. I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Chairman. this amendment would exempt voting units from the requirement of providing bilingual ballots where the number of voters affected is fewer than 100. The :.mendment arises out of a situation in Clyde Township in Allegan County in my district where there are 83 Hispanics of voting age. They are not migrant workers. They are assimilated into the community. Their kids go to school. play on the sports teams. sing in the choir. attend the churches. And over the past elections. Spanish ballots have been provided. And not once. not once has anybody ever requested a bilingual ballot.
