WI recall: Spanish ballots mailed to non-spanish-speakers

A twitter friend complained that she received a ballot for the WI Gov. Walker recall that she couldn't read, because it was in Spanish. Her post said it had been "completely redesigned" and she suspected all this was to discourage people from voting.

I'm sure she can write the SOS for an English ballot, but the conspiracy theorist in me is envisioning thousands of these requests getting "lost." I'm not in Wisconsin, so I'm just posting this as an alert of sorts. Is anyone else is having a similar experience?

No responses, so maybe not everybody has received their ballots yet. WI DUers, PLEASE open them as soon as possible and verify that you can read them. If not, call your Secretary of State or other appropriate official and raise hell... and keep us posted.

Walker must go!
