The ballot and instructions in Texas have been in English, Spanish and Vietnamese for as long as i can remember. Maybe French, too. Was that a Teddy Kennedy thing along with motor voter?

Trump tapped Kris Kobach to lead this investigation. When you consider that these partisan investigations are predisposed to a conclusion set forth by the administration, you'd expect they would accept whatever information helps their case, even if it was dubious.

But nope - just crickets.

Kobach made a litany of claims and assertions about voter fraud in the 2016 election. None of which were backed up. Even with the assistance of other Republican states that might be more willing to go along with his *ahem* witch hunt. He found nothing. Nothing. He had all the power in the country behind him to obtain whatever information he needed: The President, the Senate, The House, Republican Governors and state legislatures. And they had the motivation to prove Trump right.

They couldn't.

It is a false assumption. End of story.

You cannot get a mail in ballot with a valid Voter ID number, so illegals cannot obtain a ballot. And when you return your mail in ballot, your signature on it is compared to the signature on file at the Board of Elections.

Yeah, right. Keep believing that nonsense. There is way more to the story. Democrats don't want to acknowledge what is happening in sanctuary jurisdictions across the United States.

They claimed signature irregularities and counties having different methods. The court blocked it and Sinema won.
Michigan offers mail-in/absentee to anyone who wants it. No need to show cause, you want to vote by mail? Fill out the form. Boom. We put you on the mail-in ballot list.

You link to an article merely repeating an opinion by Tomi Lahren as if it refutes the fact that Trump's election commission was quietly dissolved without making a report? That was a nationwide study, appointed by the president, to look into these serious charges in a scientific and methodical way ... to come up with certifiable proof.

Kobach found nothing. The various state's Attorney's General (Republicans and Democrats alike) had nothing. It was all a hoax. The commission simply skulked away.

Your claimed position is a perfect example of willful ignorance.

There is absolutely no reason to have Spanish language instructions in voting registration or ballots except to get illegal aliens to vote. U.S. citizens know or learn English.

Those of us who live in sanctuary cities know what the real deal is.

Is this specific to Michigan?
If not, how is it related to the topic at hand?

Voter fraud and gerrimandering are alike, you never complain about it when it helps your party and only when it when it helps the other party...
