A Racist Voter ID Law Targeting Native Americans Just Lost its Punch

1. Bull $hit

2. Learn Dakota.

3. We have to prove our blood and our lineages as a Native Americans. You have to prove it to the government

4. Native American still have to register in America as of today!!!! They say because we're savages

5. My reservation (MHA Nation) won't let certified documented members vote for out of state! I live in Seattle and I have to travel to North Dakota to place one vote, talk about what they do to their own people don't talk about what they do to the white man.

6. The eighth circuit judges are always fixing these kinds of problems; American people has to be thankful to them as they pretty much go with what is more reasonable, and humane.
   Were not for them, democracy would have been gone long time ago.
   These judges have been put by God and those religious ones, by the devil because religion is one of the main causes of division; God doesn't want division; God wants people to look for the welfare even of the stranger, let alone the brother who is born/ native to the country.
   In the law that God gave to Moises, God told his people," the same law that applies to the one born in your country, shall apply to the stranger"; clearly, God is not favor of division.

7. Heartbreaking!

8. Three days later and I’m the first to comment? Telling. Great article and very sad. Thank you for shedding light on the way we still haven’t graduated from the 1950s!

9. In terms of needing to provide voter ID's, it should be the same for EVERYONE, with absolutely no discrimination. To bar some non citizens fom being able to vote is acceptable for federal and state elections, but learned long ago that immigrants not yet citizens could, often anyway, vote in municipal and, possibly, county elections (in USA), f.e., and I thought this was also acceptable. But, it has to be done without racial, f.e., biases, discrimination.

   In Quebec, Canada, homeless people can register themselves for temporary residential addresses, knowing that some churches provide this service, and the Coalition de Travail de Rue (Street workers coalition) in Sherbrooke also provides this aid.

   From a documentary about poverty in Quebec that I watched on TV, a miraculous wonder for me, given that I listened to tv at most 10 hours per YEAR, it spoke of homeless people in the province, but the part I'm meaning to refer to is the portion about the downtown Montreal area, and people could register at the church or its administrative office for a sort of legal address there, and this would permit these people to receive social aid, aka welfare. These people could opt to actually reside there, but this wasn't required, for some preferred remaining homeless. Both could nonetheless be registered as having this church address as if they actually resided there, rather than needing to remain living homeless. It's just that those who also chose to reside there would have room & board, and this'd surely cost them some $$, but probsably a fair deal. Either way, they'd have registered addresses and not only would it mean that they'd all have right to economic aid, but also voting rights, etc. It was a Roman Catholic church along Saint-Catherine street in downtown Mtl. And those who chose to remain like homeless could spend their nights sleeping outdoors on the church's property. Definitely seemed like a kind offer to me. An act of kindness can work wonders.

   Of course ALL native Americans should automatically have voting rights, plus surely more.

10. Justice & Democracy
    a Fraud created by 🇺🇸

11. I am a supporter of voter ID , but the treatment of the Indians is insane and wrong ! The voting should take place in the Tribal Capital on the Reservation and by Mail in Ballot to the Tribal Capital . These people should not have to go into Police stations to vote ! This is evil !

12. Ms. Kim Brown…. Speaking of Racist, your guest can say Indian if she has been indoctrinated to do so.. but YOU don't get to say that, YOU don't get to call us that. It shows your ignorance & it's disrespectful not just to us but to real Indians from India! This is NOT "Indian" country either!!! FFS you should know better!

13. It pains me to think we can be so mean and hateful to our brothers and sisters…and by the way, FELLOW AMERICANS….!

14. They can't even vote for their own land! Unbelievable!

15. When I was a salesman in Navajo,Ute,pueblo & Apache country through Arizona and New Mexico I learned about all these disturbing facts by getting to know the people. It's a sad and true reality. One day all this will change as it must in the near future.

16. Oh horse shit.

17. This story was so painful just to listen to. I hope if Bernie wins the election he focuses attention on this important issue.

18. The ancestors of living Native Americans arrived in what is now the United States at least 15,000 years ago, possibly much earlier, from Asia via Beringia. Native Americans descended from ancient Siberians in Siberia, Eurasia and North Asia. so how are Native Americans non-Whites? #Genealogy

19. It's tough for native people even when they win. In the region I live in they won the majority of seats on the county council for the first time and the whites threatened to secede screaming 'This is OUR land!' Suddenly, voting is not of what makes America 'great'…now or the Trump-revised 'again'.
