The Supreme Court ruled this week to uphold a North Dakota voter identification law which requires that voters present an ID which includes a residential address in order to vote, potentially restricting the rights of Native Americans in the state who do not have residential addresses.

Native Americans living on reservations often do not have residential addresses, but have IDs which feature P.O. boxes. Native Americans are North Dakota's largest minority population, comprising over 5 percent of the state's population.

This Supreme Court ruling could significantly affect the re-election chances of Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, who is trailing Republican opponent Kevin Cramer in polling. Heitkamp won her seat by just under 3,000 votes in 2012, with the help of Native American voters. If a few thousand Native American voters lack the necessary identification and are unable to vote, that could damage Heitkamp in a close race.

However, it is possible to obtain a residential address before Election Day, according to a Facebook post by the organization Native Vote ND, which encourages voter participation by Native Americans in the state.

Individuals can reach out to their county's 911 coordinator to begin the process of having a residential address assigned. They can then describe where their homes are located, enabling coordinators to assign addresses. The office assigning the addresses will provide letters upon request to confirm each individual's new address. The voter can use this letter to obtain a new ID, or as proof of a residential address for voting purposes.

I don't get your point in posting this here ... Are there any Native Americans which don't have regular IDs, but frequent the elitetrader?

1st they wanted to make sure you were a citizen
Then they wanted to make sure you were you
Now they want to make sure you're a land owner.
Next they'll want to make sure you're a right leaning Aryan.

Now you're ridiculous ...

There is an easy solution: when somebody who doesn't have a photo ID comes to vote, on the spot at the voting station, they should fill in a photo ID application, a photo of them should be taken, then they can vote.

Those who are outraged aren't those who can't vote, but organizations, politicians, activists who want to attract voters by creating fake problems, and the dimwits who believe them. Surely, there is some fraudulent voting too, but that's in most cases negligible.

I am not arrogant enough to presume the makeup of ET members. Also, this is the politics section so you can kindly fuck off if you don't think endangering universal suffrage is a political issue.

Except such solution isn't in the books and a similar measure as you propose isn't being confirmed as acceptable by the electoral commission.

Don't be small minded. That hurts you!

You don't want to do anything. You just want to be outraged ... whiner!
