JUL 2, Latin States of America (USA): mottos #1

BACKGROUND:
With the aid of Wikipedia, it was discovered that 24/50 states of the USA as well as the District of Columbia have Latin mottos. Other non-English languages used in state mottos include 1 each for Greek, French, Spanish, Hawaiian and Chinook. There are 22 states whose mottos are proclaimed only in English (a few states, e.g. Minnesota, have more than one official motto!).
These findings suggest that as the sole issue in a presidential election, the English-motto-only states would lose the Electoral college tally as well as the popular vote.
