It's your right think so, but you'd be 100% wrong, just like the flat earthers. Liberal ignorance, the gift that keeps on giving an endlessly fertile field for memes to ridicule the left with.

It's amazing how racist the left is. They're absolutely convinced that anyone not white is incapable of functioning without their help.

However, efforts by states and municipalities to disenfranchise Native Americans are ongoing..."

Why does the GOP hate people that aren't white?
There is a reason my dad chose not to live on "the Reservation" He didn't like poverty.

What does that have to do with Native American's ability to vote? They have the right to vote. The GOP may not want them to vote but they have the right to be counted as voters. Seriously, the GOP really has a problem with minorities, it's sick.

This is all about one thing: VOTER SUPPRESSION


Heidi Heitkamp (D) was narrowly elected 51-49 in 2012 and the Native American vote helped push her over the top. The Repubs want to remove as many Native Americans from the voter rolls as they can to reduce the Dem vote so they can flip the seat back to (R). We've seen tactics like this in other states, it's what the Repubs do.

Let's talk about this for a second. What are the ID requirements to have a PO Box? I don't know myself. If you live in one district/county, and have a PO Box in another district/county, which district/county election do you vote in, and how do you prove you are voting in the right district/county? For example, my town has six commissioners, I could conceivably get a PO Box in a commissioners district in which I do not live and use that PO BOX address to vote for a commissioner who's not legally my own. I'm not talking about voting more than once mind you, just voting in the wrong district. So, I can see how not using a PO Box as proof of address guarantees voting in the right election. Thoughts?

Voting is based on where you live, not where you receive your mail.

Alabama requires voter ID and blacks voted for Dem. Doug Jones.


Should people not be required to show ID for health care, food stamps and welfare?
