Yet. having that right legally is meaningless if certain groups of people are unable to accurately cast their ballot at the polls. Voters may be well informed about the issues and candidates. but to make sure their vote is accurately cast. language assistance is necessary and reasonable in jurisdictions with concentrated populations of limited English proficient voters. Some try to tie this to immigration. but this is not about immigration. According to the most recent information from the Census. more than 70 percent of citizens who use language assistance are native born. including Native Americans. Alaska natives and Puerto Ricans.
