My city in Wayne country michigan is half arab. It has been to at least some degree for like 40 years. I am a poll worker, and at least for my either county or the state, there is a very low threshold, like 3 percent foreign language speakers, in order to get an alternate ballot. Another city nearby recently got bengali ballots, but we never got Arabic ones. Apparently the us federal government never recognized Arabic as a language, so they never got us it. We have a new mayor now who is Lebanese himself, and within his first year in office we now have Arabic ballots.

It's because Arabs are white on US census data.
