    Speaking of Elizabeth Warren and Native Americans, it's a good thing she isn't Native American because she may not be able to vote otherwise -- especially if she was one in North Dakota --- because in North Dakota, voter ID's are not good enough if you are Native American.

    Those <Rule 7> should have known there was going to be a price to pay after Heitkamp won the election 6 years back by just over 3000 votes -- it was those damn redskins that put her over the top and dammit they had to pay -- so those Voter ID's that a large number of Native Americans were successfully able to use during the primaries, are no longer acceptable for the mid-terms. Why? because PO boxes = voter fraud or something..

    From to the article: "The Supreme Court ruled last week to uphold a lower decision requiring North Dakota voters to bring proof of residential address to the polls. Many Native Americans living on rural tribal lands, which are typically without named and numbered roads, do not have residential addresses." -- Basically the GOP decided that those living in reservation areas must have a traditional address with a street name and not a PO Box on their ID's, because a PO Box means voter fraud -- even tho there is ZERO evidence of voter fraud in the state. Obviously this is clearly another attempt at trying to target a voting block in order to prevent those votes from counting due to fear of losing -- these voter suppression games are becoming more and more brazen since the Voting Rights act was gutted, so this is par for the course -- however, it is ONLY Republicans who do this, why?

    In Waller County, Tx -- for the past 50 years, that county has been trying to prevent college students at a historically black university from voting -- trying every trick in the book -- why is this necessary? If your candidate is better, why play these games to try to prevent certain segments of the country from voting, LEGALLY?? How can republicans complain about minority voters not giving their party a chance when its their party who is constantly trying o suppress their vote?

    Nothing will happen until a Farmer who also has a PO box raises some hell over not being able to vote.
