This post reminds me of Pee Wee Herman, you know when he says things like:
"I know you are, but what am I?"
"Made ya look!"
Fun at Pee Wee's Playhouse!
The word of the day is - president (not to be confused with: clown)

Hey Brenda,
This should shed some light on the matter:

Hi SGG
I realize this was for Brenda, but I appreciate the information. I thought that maybe the voter ID law effect on Native Americans might be a 'kick-the-dog' side effect (and you get to kick the dog for free) but it looks far more intentional than that.
My own information was looking at the Native Americans in Arizona and New Mexico, b/c I have just a smidge more information on them. How aware are the Anglos of the Native American populations in their states, how well do they understand the circumstances of Native Americans, etc. I didn't think the legislature could be so ignorant that they would have written something that hostile by accident. But I didn't figure out the motive.
It looks like at least in N Dakota there is a big effort to get especially reservation residents the proper ID. I don't think it was quite ready for this election cycle, hopefully it'll all by in place by 2020.

Welcome to Trump's Amerika - a giant clubhouse for mostly wealthy, mostly white, mostly men. Exclusivity, Access and Privelage for the few, especially for those who show fealty to Der Trump.

The Republicans’ Midwest ‘Power Grab’
GOP legislators are moving to strip authority from incoming Democrats in Wisconsin and Michigan, taking a page from North Carolina.
In Wisconsin and Michigan, Republicans are responding to their loss of top statewide offices in last month’s elections by rapidly trying to undercut the Democrats about to take office. The gambit seems straight out of North Carolina, where Republicans used the lame-duck session after the 2016 elections to limit the power of the incoming Democratic governor in what one top Democrat called a “legislative coup”—and largely got away with it.

Thank you SGG. Now you understand why I was angry. I should have mentioned initially that the activists were getting out to try and get the "id" that the government was requiring for voting. Mobilizing as many people as possible.

Hi Kiki,
One thing I have learned over the years is that if there is a way to "kick" Native Americans the American government will find it.
I hope it will be better in 2020 but I am not holding my breath.
Were there any problems in New Mexico and Arizona with Native American voting in the mid-terms?
I should look up the states that my own tribe resides in.

Went last night and had a quick look. Apparently things went smooth in Wyoming. The most famous reserve there being Wind River. Will try and take a more indepth look.
