I found it mind-boggling when I discovered american voting ballots were written in both english and spanish. Who knows exactly why they need those...

Oh, it's more than that. Any district that has a registered voter that speaks a non-English language as their primary language is required by law to get a translator for that language, whatever it may be. Leads to major cities needing things like Farsi, Cambodian, Urdu, or French Creole to name a few.


Which is kind of silly.  I could vote in Spanish, French, Italian Portuges, pretty much everything with the same language names because all voting is... is names.

Not really. You need to know what you're voting for as much as who. For local elections where the names might be less well-known, you'd have to know what a Comptroller or Magistrate is.

Why?

If I don't know who Mike Johnson and John Mikeson are, how is knowing they are running for Comptroller going to help make a more informed choice?
