The link doesn't seem to work for me, but is she suggesting people should have appropriately anglophone names in order to vote for the sake of administrative convenience? *blinks* Really? In a country where millions of people (and disproportionately people of colour) are already disenfranchised by felony convictions as part of a racially-biased criminal justice system. Wow. Did she consider hiring more competent and diverse people as poll administrators, instead?
In high school we used to deliberately elect as prefects the people with the hardest to pronounce names in order to chortle at the headmistress' attempt to say them. Usually she did a pretty good job, but she didn't even attempt the name of our Eastern European fencing teacher which had js and ks but no vowels at all.
