You are uniformed. It is not clear that the tribe’s votes will be counted.

In 1960, Kennedy won the electoral college. 303-219. Kennedy needed 270 to win, he would have had 276. Republicans argued there case to the judicial system and lost, so the official count stands at 303 electoral college votes.

Thrilling, granddad, but the golden age for these exploits were the fifties and before (Daley vs Nixon 1960 being somewhat the highlight and end of the line for the more overt stuff you mention). So what's happend the last 60 years? What have the Republicans been doing? How did black voting shape up post Voting Rights and recently after it was revoked? 2000 votes from the graveyard is small potatoes compared to peeling 2 million off via computer expiration.

And yes, discuss the pros and cons of Voter ID and why one group in particular is resistant - hint, it ain't casino-owning ~~Indians~~ Natives.

Come on, you can discuss this stuff for real without dealing in 1-sided tropes. Here's rooting for you.

The liberals have a lot of excuses and claims for why they are losing with victimhood hand wringing their first reaction. Those clever Indians in ND have already found an easy solution for for this simple voting requirement. A tribal official will be at every voting station ready to print out an official document that uses GPS to identify and assign a street number to a qualified residents home, problem solved. If these simple voter ID requirements are a vast right wing supression conspiracy they aren't working very well except to limit voting fraud. In the good old days the dems in my state simplified the whole process by having the workers on ranches and farms line up on election day and gave each one a dollar then told them who to vote for. In more recent times the dems kept a few thousand dead or missing voters on the county voter registration rolls and they always voted for the party's choice. Modern tech has stopped this fun and games so the dems are hoping to exploit alien non citizens by giving them the vote.

Usually I ignore your nonsense. In North Dakota, the Republican legislature changed the IDs were allowed in the same election cycle to prevent Native Americans from casting votes in the general election. Republicans create all sorts of barriers to voting to prevent “fraud”. Trump formed a voter fraud commission headed by Kris Kodachrome. The commission was disbanded after finding no widespread voter fraud. Republicans close polling centers in ethnic minority communities. Republican voters know that voter suppression is rampant and ignore that reality. Decent people of all ethnicities recoil at the blatant racism of voter suppression. Trump supporters have no honor when it comes to the issue of voting.

It is clear that you simply have no clue about any serious issue. You refuse to supply any support for your opinions Regarding you casting a vote using your son’s ballot. You would be guilty of a felony. It is not a crime to be registered in two jurisdictions. If you actually voted for your son who lived in another state, you should be put in prison. You did not cast a ballot for your son. Kodachrome could find no evidence of hordes of people casting fraudulent votes.

It's a shame you didn't bother to read the article before spouting off. Do better next time.

Voter purges — cleaning up and pruning voter rolls down to remove inaccurate information — are a normal part of all election roll maintenance. But if purges are done too aggressively or with bad information, advocates warn, they can disenfranchise eligible voters, who may not know they've been purged until they go to the polls on Election Day and are unable to vote.

Of course most people vote every 2nd year, and not everyone takes the mid-elections that seriously, especially if no Senator or Governor up. Like, why don't they just cancel people's drivers licenses every year and make them re-up just in case? Why let those drivers licenses sit precariously attractive for illegal drivers to misuse, only renewing once every 4 years - the safety of our republic is at risk!!!

Me being overseas, I have to re-register every year whether I vote or not. What's the point of that? It's basically a 2 month turnaround to renew (if I remember in time), and if a letter gets lost, well, better luck next year.

This is more bogus spin from the snowflake media. States are supposed to keep their voter registration rolls current and purge them regularly to remove names of people who have died, moved or fail to vote for a specified number of elections. Voters are required to keep their voter registration up to date when they move or stop voting and then want to vote again. I received two mail in special election ballots recently one addressed to my son who left the state 8 years ago and I could have returned both of them and voted twice. Voting is a right and like all rights it comes with responsibilities. I especially dislike the racial inference in these voter suppression .propaganda agendas. They infer that poor minorities are incapable of understanding and performing their simple responsibilities and need elite liberals to defend their voting rights.

It's not just Georgia. We're already in a crisis of democracy. "Nine states with a history of racial discrimination are more aggressively removing registered voters from their rolls than other states, according to a report released Friday." https://t.co/hRCtySAEOH
