BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A federal judge on Thursday denied a request from an American Indian tribe in North Dakota to block the state’s voter ID law just days before the election.

North Dakota’s law requires voters to show ID with a residential street address, which American Indians have argued is not always evident on reservations.

The Spirit Lake Sioux tribe sued the state Tuesday seeking a temporary restraining order, saying the street address requirement is unconstitutional.

U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland wrote that the allegations gave him “great cause for concern” but that he was denying the motion because it would cause confusion so close to the election.

“The federal courts are unanimous in their judgment that it is highly important to preserve the status quo when elections are fast approaching,” Hovland wrote.

I wonder if the tribe went in and told everyone that the address was 1 Spirit Lake Reservation, since there us only one Spirit Lake Reservation in North Dakota, what the fuck would he have said then.....................because there are four districts in / on the reservation.................and just because there is no sovereignty recognition for the Tribe thru this ruling, even though they are recognized in the Constitution...........fuck that shit right judge..................states rights, fuck the national constitution .................who appointed you, GW Bush, for the record .......................and then there is the U S supreme court that gutted the Voting Rights Act..............go fucking figure and now they have two new members that shouldn't even be sitting on the bench...........................
