I.AM.ABSOLUTELY.INCENSED!
..you should be too..

#REPUBLICANS·CHEAT·TO·WIN

NorthDakota is politically disenfranchising it's Native American Tribal Members who live on reservations
~normally tribes do not have street addresses..Rs passed law requiring it /cont
Hasn't the dominant white culture done enough to Native Americans already? Do they have to try to take away their Right to Vote, too? #Shame

ND Repubs knew they needed to depress # of Indian votes in order to ensure the R-senate candidate would win over @SenatorHeitkamp 2/cont
so despite decades of knowing members normally had no formal street addresses, the ND/R-legislature passed a law, unfairly requiring it just prior to the Nov Midterm..They had previously passed a similar law & a court ruled against implementing based on its discriminatory 3/cont
intent & the undue burden it would place on tribal members to have a whole address system implemented b4 Nov6..so Rs decided to pass another law w/ a caveat to get around the Court's ruling allowing for tribal members to vote via a "Provisional Ballot" as long as they can 4/cont
prove a street address within 6-7 days after voting (how 'nice' of them..they know the addresses can't be verified, bc @ this time they HAVE NO ADDRESSES so therefore, the "Provisional Ballot" will be thrown out..not counted.. #ProblemSolved).

This is just UNCONSCIONABLE! 5/cont
This 2nd law is going into effect just b4 Nov6 election
..there is NO TIME to fairly remedy the situation.
