Confusion. embarrassment and frustration are constant companions for those trying to change the way their tongues work and their minds think in the important. pressure situation of voting. Such mundane tasks as ordering at a restaurant or going to the bank become challengesevery word a potential mistake in comprehension. The language in section 203 is not about coddling immigrants. and this amendment shouldnt be about punishing new citizens for having to leam a second language under fire. Section 203 is about making sure that a fundamental right. the right to vote. is without obstacle. I urgently ask that my colleagues join me in defeating the King amendment and standing for the rights of all Americans to cast the vote they intended.
