Hey Flugelsong: Perhaps we need to boycott all things North Dakota too!

.

The ND statehouse wants to disenfranchise 25% of the voters, because most live on tribal lands and do not subscribe to the Western concept of property ownership. Knowing that, they are forcing Native Americans to have a street address in order to be eligible to vote--something SCOTUS seems to have affirmed. The USPS mainly has P.O. Boxes there, which do not meet that requirement. This will ensure Heidi Heitkamp's defeat, as many Native Americans support her, and she only won by 3,000 votes in the last election.


Perhaps we should send North Dakota's economy spiraling down to that of the reservations.

If the ND Republicans can only cheat, and do so in the final days before an election, they are not truly American.

Boycott North Dakota.

How can the State demand Street Address without first creating that street address first? Bfd Oct 2018 #2

That is a State function.
People cannot make up their own Street & address.

THE STATE HAS TO DO THAT!

This is so damn dirty of them, but not surprised they would pull this shit.
Should it be challenged to the SC, well guess ND assholes are covered their also.

This is now the 5th State I have read of in 2 days that is messing with voter disenfranchisement.
