First they want ID's now they want ID's to say specific things excluding the valid ID's most of the native americans carry in the state.
Street addresses in areas that are not mapped traditionaly does cause problem the state knew full well in advance. That is why the rule was written the way to exclude people.

Maj Kevin "Mac" McLaughlin - No, it is not, unless it has the street address on it. The tribes are scrambling now to issue new IDs in time, but won't get to everyone.
In order to vote in North Dakota, you must be:
•A citizen of the United States;
•Eighteen years or older on the day of election;
•A resident of North Dakota;
•A resident in the precinct at least thirty days immediately preceding any election; and
•Able to provide a North Dakota driver's license, nondriver ID, or tribal ID that includes your current residential address and date of birth. (If an individual's valid form of identification does not include all the information required in subsection 2 of NDCC §16.1-01-04.1, or the information is not current, the identification must be supplemented by presenting any of the documents as outlined in subsection 3 of NDCC § 16.1-01-04.1.)])

To which they are able to call a 911 service provider and have one established.

Maj Kevin "Mac" McLaughlin - I believe the tribe is the source for establishing street address and issuing the ID card, not 911.

I'm sure there are plenty of options, and I did read that they can in fact call the 911 provider to assign them an address. That's not the point. They have the ability to get their homes established with a legal address. Why haven't they?

You are biased to this Ray, so you probably won't listen...
My family, many friends are from ND. Many live on the res and have friends that are on the res. They have not had problems voting at all. This is much like the pipeline protest where the people are from out of state.
Second, if all the NA's in ND voted for Heitkamp, she would still lose. She has lost the will of the people.

Ray, I got news for you, I live in Georgia and nobody’s vote is being suppressed. One of Brian Kemp’s plethora of duties as Secretary of State is to purge voter registration roles. The reasons can run the gamut from inactivity to conviction of a felony. He is doing his job plain and simple.

SSgt Ray Stone - Again, I ask... What thousands are you referring to? How many do you even think are affected by this problem?

I get it, you won't answer. Note, the article speaks of 30K Native Americans who live in ND but failed to give estimates of the potentially affected. But that wouldn't make the news would it because I'll bet the number is incredibly low and out of those, I'll also bet a significant number of them refused to take the time to call the 911 provider and request to have an address assigned to them.

North Dakota Voting Requirements:
"North Dakota is the only state without a voter registration process. Any person over the age of 18 who has lived in a precinct for three or more months may vote in local, state, and federal elections without registration. In order to vote, however, a person must bring identification of a type pre-selected by the North Dakota Secretary of State. For the 2016 election, this list includes a North Dakota driver's license, non-driver's ID card, tribal government issued ID card, or an identification card provided by a North Dakota long-term care facility. Neither a United States Passport nor a North Dakota College- or University-issued ID card are accepted, and North Dakota does not offer provisional ballots to those who do not have an acceptable form of identification."

ND Driver's License Requirements:
Present your out-of-state driver's license.
Provide proof of your identity, such as your:
U.S. birth certificate.
U.S. passport.
Foreign passport and I-94 printout.
Show proof of ND residency.
Pass a vision test.
Pass the written and driving exams, if required.
These may be waived after the ND DOT check your driving record and medical information.
Pay the required fees.

Acceptable documents for proof of North Dakota resident address:
 Government issued property tax form
 Mortgage/Lease/Rental document
 Homeowner/renter’s insurance policy
 Utility bill (electricity, gas, water, sewer, cable, recycle)
 Non-cellular phone bill
 Currently issued school transcript/report card
 Statement from a financial institution (bank, credit union, or other financial institution)
 Credit, debit, or charge card statement
 Pay stub or statement from employer
