Republicans have a great idea to improve democracy: let us hold an election. but make sure some specially singled out voters do not have the chance to read fully about what the issues are. or who they are voting for. Who do they seek to single out? True to form. they single out immigrants who fled political persecution or economic repression. who encourage their children to study hard. who attend weekend classes to improve their English skills. all the while holding down two jobs to support their families. These are people proud to be American citizens. Yes. there is an elementary language provision under the immigration law to become a United States citizen. but there are also exceptions for those seniors who are elderly and who are exempted. They would be not having the access to understand what they are voting for. Think about the ballot questions that come forth and the complexity of those ballot questions.
