I think it's wrong for the state to publish non-English voting materials, because it's really not in the interests of taxpayers to pull in more voters who can't be arsed to either learn English or pay for their own translation. But it is in the interests of business to expand its customer base and satisfy everyone it wants to do business with. Each American has to decide if it's in their interest to pick up some other language -- and then, which one? Honestly, we seem to have more Russian around here than Spanish.
