What oppression. Record turnout is oppression?

And the law (requiring a street address, not a PO box) stood up to judicial challenge.
Before you say it, every square foot of ND has a street address (per the statewide 911 system).

In Maine the address they put on your ID is your mailing address.

You can request a physical address on the back, but it isn’t mandatory

“We tried to pass a law to stop them from voting, but they banded together to fight back” is like saying the real reason for the oppression that led to the Civil Rights Movement was the friendships made along the way.

There always seems to be one.

This year's "Win From Beyond the Grave" election winner is ...

Dennis Hof


So will, uh, ... flags, yeah, flags ... be at half-staff because of his death.

This is good for GOP, because they now get to replace him with another Republican.

ND passed a law requiring a street mailing address on ID used for voting to prove you live in the district you're trying to vote in. A PO box doesn't prove you live in the district you're trying to vote in. The reservations all have ND recognized street addresses.

The issue is North Dakota’s voter ID laws, which were enacted over a year ago and upheld earlier this year by the U.S. Supreme Court (with votes from liberal Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Stephen Breyer, no less).

Heitkamp had little to say about ID policy when it was created by the Legislature last year, but in need of a talking point at the bitter end of her clumsy campaign the Senator suddenly sees it as a travesty.

Heitkamp and the national networks of left wing activists who are now showering her campaign with money and support (bought with the incumbent’s vote against Brett Kavanaugh, no doubt) are busy branding North Dakotans as a bunch of racist rubes out to disenfranchise Native Americans.

This isn’t true, of course, but supposing for a moment it was, where were these people when this law was passed?

Why did they wait until just weeks before election day to make a stink, when issues with tribal ID’s could have been resolved months and months ago?

Why did so many of them only start to care when it became a campaign issue?

It’s still easy for Native Americans to vote (as Heitkamp herself has been saying during visits to Indian country) but it’s politically convenient for Heitkamp and her surrogates to pretend otherwise.

Both as a way to inflame her left wing base ahead of voting, and perhaps as an excuse for losing on election day.

Want to get your knickers in a twist? That "street address" change isn't it.

This passed yesterday.

Seeing reports that 76% of white women voted for Kemp over Abrams in GA. Figures.

1. Someone managing to overcome abuse...doesn't justify the abuse. Just because there's turnout doesn't mean there wasn't voter suppression.

2. There is no North Dakota voter fraud. None. The North Dakota people did what they could to suppress the NA vote. If it wasn't the people, then politicians would have been thrown out. It was the NAs themselves with some assistance that made it so that they had any kind of vote - in spite of your fellow North Dakotans.

"In the days leading up to the midterm election, indigenous leaders rallied to issue thousands of new ID cards for would-be voters. The campaign, dubbed #StandingRockTheVote, is the result of a partnership between several North Dakota tribes and nonprofit advocacy organizations fighting voter suppression. As of last week, the Standing Rock Sioux, Turtle Mountain Chippewa, and Three Affiliated Tribes had distributed more than 2,000 new ID cards to their members free of charge so that they won’t be turned away at the polls. Through a GoFundMe page, the group raised more than $230,000 for the initiative in 17 days. The Native American Rights Fund also donated $50,000." https://www.vo*****/policy-and-polit...ssion-heitkamp

3. How many NAs were involved in the decision of your judiciary? Would you actually think that the judiciary would choose the NA point of view over that of the extreme legislature elected from the same source as themselves? I don't expect you to see any of this as you've shown yourself to be just as politically corrupt.

The lack of oppression argument is not a fact lmao.

I knew there was a reason that civil rights were meaningless in North Dakota.
