Hi Delirium,
Not true. The official website of Texas
<http://www.state.tx.us/>
is in both Spanish and English, and this is true of many states
with large Spanish-speaking populations. Every ballot I've ever
used to vote in an election (I'm from Texas) was printed in both
English and Spanish; in the last election, my absentee ballot came
with a Vietnamese version as well. All government buildings have
their signs in both English and Spanish. Basically, there is no
official piece of communication you can get from the Texas state
government that does not have every word of English translated to
Spanish, and in the Houston area Vietnamese is often included as
well.
(Compare the uproar that would ensue if a European
country allowed
people to vote using Turkish-language ballots.)
While that is uncommon, information about the election is presented in
most immigrant languages commonly, here too.
