A Latvian woman casts her ballot paper at a polling station during a language referendum in Riga, Latvia, Saturday, Feb. 18, 2012. Latvia on Saturday opened a referendum on whether Russian should become the Baltic country's second national language, a poll that is likely to fail and widen the rift in an already divided society. (AP Photo/Roman Koksarov)AP - Latvian voters resoundingly rejected a proposal to give official status to Russian, the mother tongue of their former Soviet occupiers, though the defeated referendum Saturday is expected to leave scars on an already divided society.
