I was under the impression that the Federal Voting Rights Law governing elections supercedes State election law. Here's a link concerning Voting Rights that was written in September 2008; http://www.abanet.org/vote/2008/VotingRightsArticle.pdf . It seems the law was somewhat changed concerning English Only Laws, but the Federal Law still mandates foreign language requirements. I think this bill they are trying to sell won't hold up under the Federal Voting Rights laws. Can they actually do that?
