Some Native Americans Have Issues Voting in North Dakota

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Some Native Americans in North Dakota had issues Tuesday complying with the state's voter identification requirements, but advocacy groups and state officials said they weren't immediately aware of any widespread problems.

Bret Healy, a consultant for Four Directions, a group that advocates for Native American voting rights, said he was not immediately aware of any widespread voting problems in Indian Country.


John Arnold, elections director in the secretary of state's office, said the same, as did American Civil Liberties Union staff attorney Andrew Malone, though he added that the group was largely leaving the matter to the Native American Rights Fund. That group, which has been involved in two lawsuits against the state over the voter ID requirements, said it had no immediate information on the status of reservation voting.
