hopefully it isn't the kind of place where they bill you for calling 911....
-
Ouch, the directions are to call the 911 coordinator, NOT dial 911. It is like calling the Police Non-emergency number.

I grew up on the reservation, we had no source of income to even afford a fucking po box, our address was General Delivery, which in essence went to the post master to hold for us.
-
Sounds pretty tough. Did you know they provide a free service to get set up with a physical ID? I understand sometimes things are tight financially, but I’m hoping that people can afford the time for it.

-
this was back in the 90s, I made it out reluctantly. but we are so isolated from society out there honestly.

I don’t trust Republicans. They lie and cheat to keep their power and they don’t seem to care what Trump did to win - or his continued threats to national security.pic.twitter.com/xdU8celSe4

Who doesn’t have a state issued Id? I’m all for voted Id laws.
-
They do. The state is saying that tribal IDs don’t count.
-
So sign up for a free “address” doesn’t seem like an issue to me. That’s one of two options, the other being bringing supporting documention.
-
There is no reason for them to have to. This is a stupid rule that makes it harder to vote without actually accomplishing anything.
-
Exactly, it also places pressure on the county 911 coordinator. I wonder if those coordinators’ office hours have been extended & are they provided with clerical help to push these letters out quickly? This is just shameful.
-
I’m sure they are compensated for their time. I don’t know about you, but I love me some overtime.
-
That’s assuming that the county offices do the right thing & extend hours, hire staff in anticipation of the additional workload, etc. Typically with voter suppression efforts it’s easy for the culprits to hide behind bureaucracy.

You need an ID to get a job, to drink, to smoke, to get a house, or a car... why wouldn’t you need one to vote?
-
The problem is not the need for ID. The problem is the not allowing people to have P.O. boxes, which affects the Native Americans more than others in the state.
-
They have two options, use supporting documentation, or to register for a free “address”. I don’t see the issue.
-
The system doesn't accept an alternate address and doesn't review/accept supporting docs. THAT's the issue.
-
The homeless cannot vote. Should homless citizens, many of them vets, be allowed to vote? Are we back to only "landowners" can vote? What's your take on that?
-
Read the story again, you obviously missed where it said a physical adress would be provided free of charge.
-
And the story says that voter fraud is virtually nonexistant and that this decision, and its timing, has led to more confusion, which had already existed. So perhaps the GOP in ND should hold back on implementing this for this election to allow time to get past the confusion.
-
That is, if the GOP in ND wanted to act in good faith and not increase voter disenfranchisement. Or the GOP there could spend more on info campaigns to help clarify what can be done. It would be a great PR campaign for them to do so.
