This is New Jersey: Election Gimickry

In case you hadn't heard about the recent indictment of 44 politicians and rabbis in connection with an international money laundering scheme, New Jersey is pretty corrupt. And has become yet again the butt of many jokes. Oh and I did I mention between all the state regulations, laws, and leftist ideology, it's practically a quasi-police state?
 
Since New Jersey never fails to disappoint, I thought I would post something that has been nagging me ever since I voted by absentee ballot (which has been every single election so far--except this November's gubernatorial). I get what is usually a rote cover letter from Kathleen Donovan, Bergen County's Clerk, explaining the ballot, yada yada, etc. But what caught my eye is that at the bottom of the letter, it states: "In accordance with Federal Law, all Election material in Bergen County now must be printed in English and Spanish." (see the attached scan of the letter)
 
"Federal Law?" Sure, sounds right. Just for the heck of it, I checked with another friend, thinking all states' ballots would be bilingual, since it's a matter of Federal law. He's from Oregon and actually all their elections are conducted by absentee ballot. Either they can be mailed or dropped off on the day of the election. Sounds like it matched up almost entirely with my absentee ballot experience. But when I asked him, his ballots are only in English. So if this is a matter of Federal law, why are mine bilingual and his English only. Something sounds fishy...
 
I'll probably deal with this more as election day comes closer. I'm currently interning on the Christie campaign for NJ governor. The main problem we will probably face (and most Republican candidates face) in November is ballot stuffing. Going to inner city areas or high density residential sites, and conducted ballot fraud on a massive scale. The Democratic controlled legislature this past year signed legislation making unnecessary to have a reason to obtain an absentee ballot: you can get one whenever you like. This sounds fine in practice what ends up happening is now these absentee ballots get filled out by party operatives who go ballot storming in inner city areas and dump off bags of these "absentee" ballots at the county clerk's office on election day.
 
But why in Spanish? Probably to attempt to score brownie points with Hispanic coalitions and perhaps to get unregistered Spanish voters to vote regardless. Only 85 days until election day and it feels like eternity and nothing at the same time.
