North Dakota’s Native Americans Scramble To Comply With Voter ID Law | NBC News
Just horrible that the first true Americans are being so discriminated against.
They aren't.
How are they being discriminated against? I had to do this four yours ago. My state was the first the had to comply. This was started under Obama.
vamps4me The GOP has devolved and degenerated into merely nothing more than a far-right, fascist, criminal syndicate intent of fleecing society for themselves and the 1% donors while oppressing minorities, sanctioning and bombing foreign countries that stand up for themselves, and silencing all that oppose them. They're nothing but an abomination, along with the brainwashed deplorables that keep putting them in office.
How condescending!
The statement: "the first true Americans" is an inaccurate and divisive comment. Where did you get that??
Firstly, "Americans" is a title given to citizens of the United States of America. The U.S.A was established by a very diverse group of people of many skin colors and ethnicities.
Secondly, the assumption of discrimination is clearly inaccurate. Since ALL voters (native American and otherwise) are required to have this ID, it therefore is NOT discriminatory.
Basically this is a non-issue fomented by those that have nothing better to do with their lives than stir up fake outrage and encourage people to be pathetic victims all their lives.
Native Americans are just a capable as any other human beings and should have pride in the strength of their heritage.
Never allow race-baiting hucksters, like the jokers on this video, to trick you into being perpetual victims. You dont need anyone else's permission or help to be strong and successful.
Forcing the first people of this nation into boxes and conformity when they, as a nation, have had their own ways that go back before everyone else came along and took it from them. It's disgusting.
@Kay Kay Your ways and your culture are not a part of their ways and culture. This has nothing to do with feelings. You don't remember just recently when this same tribe was bulldozed over the oil pipeline, their only access to clean drinking water threatened, their land stolen, (their sacred land where their ancestors, whom they greatly revere, were buried), again, treaties broken, etc. Yet because your ways aren't theirs and you are obviously projecting yours onto theirs, they should automatically comply with your self centered way of life and thinking?
America is disgusting...period. The conservatives are now the epitome of fraud. They are THE anti-American force in control. With gerrymandering and the Congress basically performing head on Trump,they have cemented the trajectory into authoritarian rule. To coin a phrase from Lindsay Graham..." God help us if you get power.." And now we see what absolute power looks like. Just like when they saw it in the 1930s in Germany.
@Kay Kay The difference is every American is still benefiting from the land you took from us by resources, housing etc. Every time you found something, you would simply take it back and move us. So ya, you still are benefiting from those crimes.
@Kay Kay Did you read the part where I said ALL AMERICANS, where did I say, but you benefit more than anyone else? And have you seen any red Natives? Most are brown, redskin was just another falsehood put on us by colonials. And believe me, we did not receive far compensation for the lands stolen.
@Kay Kay Who said anything about owing me money? I was responding to your comment about why Americans now should bear any responsibility to what your forfathers did. I explained why and now you are accusing me of personally being owed money? Look, I answered your question with a fact, if you don't like it or agree fine, but don't change the subject and start accusing me of something I didn't say.
To ALL NATIVE AMERICANS - YOUR VOTE COUNTS !!! Keep in mind that Trump did this to you people !!! 🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵
So the indigenous people don’t get a say in the land of their origin. Nothing new there.
You're being lied to and conned. There is nothing unfair about asking for ID before someone votes.
Natives aren't the ones who built this country.
They could have if they were not invaded. .
@@Ken-mo6ok Not a chance!
Well, we won't know the answer to that. . coz u know, history. .
This sickens me and is yet another reason I stand behind good Democrats.
Robin Sholley Stand with Progressive and Justice Democrats. These are the good ones you speak of.
It's racism, pure and simple.
wrong, pure and simple.
Why you because you think blacks can't afford ID? Haha
That's Racism, pure and simple
It's not a race issue, it's a class issue
Election fraud is a huge issue too, I think the solution is voter ID laws but the Government provides everyone with ID when they turn 16
And they make the prices more affordable

Im Mexican, and my AncestryDNA says I am 60% Native American. They are my Native brothers and sisters as well. Its a shame that the U.S. calls us Hispanic because most of us aren't. Imagine if Mexicans Central and South Americans are recognised for our indigenous ancestry, the Native American populations would rise here in the U.S. and i don't think the white people want that so they seperate us by calling us "Hispanics" or "Latinos" its a form of divide and conquer.
I agree 💯 my Native brother.
AncestryDNA is a hoax for your info.
@@Briguy702 youre a hoax 😂
So your saying calling you Hispanic is some big conspiracy to divide and conquer? I don’t see what your point is
Tuned in to Steve Mathews Band Vote Rally for Dakota Indigenous People... Great Show and Performances by the Best Entertainment of The Native Indian Tribes to be heard and VOTE and have their VOTE COUNTED... What a shame to have to fight to VOTE in 2018 being the original People of America... Total Disgrace!
Steve Mathews? Did Steve Miller and Dave Mathews have a illegitimate child?
Good luck to Indian Country and many blessings.
If these people can work this hard to get people to vote, the LEAST you/we can do is get off our lazy butts and go vote!!!!
PLEASE don't let anyone or anything hold u back... U ARE AWESOME PEOPLE
Its always....Poor Meee!!! Waaaa...im a victim! *****Guzzles whisky**** poor mee!! ****huffs gas****
Vote blue whatever you do!!!
www.foxnews.com/politics/north-dakota-democratic-party-discourages-hunts-from-voting-claims-they-could-lose-out-of-state-licenses
Heroes step in to help them to vote! Ty...voter repression on racial lines is disgusting!
Coelophysis do those things all specifically check your physical address ? You literally cited one of the most reactionary, regressive, pathetic sources that exists.
Don’t give up Native folks..stay strong
It's their country, how many times, centuries you gonna abuse them.
@Kay Kay Long time ago? Mass murdering is a bad thing, time won't erase it, people who stole their land should leave, you are Trumpoid or another ignorant white supremacist.
Please get to vote. Vote blue and thank you Native American voters.
voter id will be great
Why doesn't this come as a surprise to me?
So how many of these people were planning on voting in the midterm election?
How shamful can the GOP get?? Native Americans for God's sake!!
This is a law enacted by Obama.y state had to do this four years ago.
Voter ID is more important then most realize!
that's to bad now the native Americans have to get a fiscal address, they should have done this a long time ago, I thing would I want to go to town to get my mail every day, NO, could you imagine what this country would be like right now if nobody but native Americans where here, and it DO NOT have anything to do with suppressing native Americans for voting, a lot of places won't send your stuff to you if you have a PO Box address
VOTER ID not PHOTO ID
They should have created better ID cards a long time ago the law is to make sure you’re a citizen not to exclude but to include the correct people agencies have to evolve and adapt all the time you’re no different get it together you’re not a victim because you have business to take care of
It’s important again in 2022…and every election cycle.
North Carolina doesn’t have this PO Box problem
Yet the law still was struck down
This might expose how the infrastructure of reservations is outdated. How are the homes numbered, but they don't have street addresses?!
I here for the Elizabeth Warren jokes...
Times are changing....they have been changing. Keeping up with society is important. Ids need to be presented for all voting.
I don't get it
I think that laws that changes voter registration can only take effect 1 year after being passed (or accepted into law after being challenged). Congress should make sure of that. It doesn't hurt state's right to enact those laws, it protects people from being denied their right to vote when they are specifically targeted right before an election.
VOTER ID for everyone
But we are negating the fact, just how good is Mike Perry?
why are the allowed to vote? are they sovern
I’ve had a photo ID since I was 17 it’s not rocket science to get...anyway maybe they should put photo ID centers inside the reservation liquor store.
They have Photo did you not watch the video?
I’m very much in favor of preventing voter fraud and showing valid ID, but changing it so soon to the election and giving everyone so little time is embarrassing and frankly mean-spirited. Not okay
Marie Hornung there is no study that shows ID is necessary or voter fraud is a significant problem.
why can't they understand they culture. instead of taking it away,, we all have our ways,, it's ashamed talking about piece , justice n freedom, when it's not true,, show a bit Off respect to the real people Off the land!!
It's a kind of idolitry.
Do not give up! Go North Dakota! Vote Blue! Build wall around Trump! And the Republican Party !
Rose Johnson How stupid are you people.y state did this four years ago everyone has to do it. It was Obama that made it law.
X x yes but last minute they’re gonna change it? It’s abstracting democracy republicans should be shame
@@lgiver5148 This happens in every state at the end of the third quarter. When it was done in my state both the federal and state government was under democratic control. So we could of blamed the Democrats. If you actually followed politics you would of know about this eight years ago. That is when a list was made public that said when each state had to comply. Yours just so happened to fall on an election year. When it was done in my state it was on a presidential election year. Did you care that people in my state may have been screwed over? Documented physical addresses are all tied together because of 911. It is a Homeland security thing. Your driver's license, your CCW permit, voter registration, auto registration all must have a physical address. In my state they when as far as renaming roads and changing house addresses. I even had to give my driveway a street name. So drop the victim mentality, no one feels sorry for you.
X x first no1 here is playing the victim the problem is that the court rule the law could b in affect when it doesn’t the racist court did this because the last mid term were won by a razor thin mirage that the natives were responsible for. And natives Americans hav a hard time providing address because they live on a reserve so like I said it seems that it’s stopping natives from voting and I have no idea wat state u live in
Is there something I'm not understanding? They want a physical address, not a PO box number. You live somewhere right? Use that address, problem solved
MeriKKKa
This is disgusting and obvious unconstitutional discrimination !
Demoncrates (BAD) vs Republican (Good) …… GOD IS WATCHING YOU! …. Vote & Support Republicans, for A Better & BLESSED Future.
Vote for Progressive and Justice Democrats! These are our last hope for saving Democracy.
makes me happy and yet is why I vote republican
Apparently they do have addresses because they are filling out the forms. I have no mercy for them. They are US citizens and have to comply with the law like everybody else.
Draconian laws should not be overlooked. A state filled with draconian laws is a quick way to bring down and destroy a state. The respect for the law diminishes with the population and in fact makes even harder to in force the laws itself.
it is the last min. change in what they are asked to have a say which is the problem. if they had been given 6 or even 8 months warning it could maybe se seen as fair. the timing of the change says it all. they are trying to keep them from being heard. as I am 1/4 native American I find your arrogance par for the course. still as ignorant , childish and entitled as ever.
Kaptain Kmann The concept that a vote be tied to a property is a dangerous one. This would set up the banks to choose who can and can't vote.
@@kaptainkmann7808 In the United States, voter registration requires a physical address. A PO Box cannot be used as your voting residence address. The local election official in the United States needs your last U.S. residence address in order to determine your precise voting district. It has nothing to do with Indians, so get over your offense.
@@mactek6033 North Dakota doesn't require voter registration. It's the only state that doesn't. Also most states don't require photo I.D. verification.
Does anybody else think that Donald Trump could possibly be Jesus Christ returned to save this planet?
Nope not at all
You bet if Jesus Christ is real and a pathological liar, con man, bigot, narcissis POS....what Christian would believe JC would lock up children or turn them away or abuse them.
Voter Suppression must be Stopped! And what happened to addresses like RD1 RD2, (rural delivery Routes) or General Delivery, I heard no longer exists, If You don't have a Post Office created address I guess You don't have an address. When I was a kid I lived at an RD1, then the nearest town name came after meaning I lived at a rural address near that town. There was RD1, RD2 and RD3 and the post office delivered the mail that way to Farms, etc. But it's gotten so complicated. We also had a Party Line Phone for a while. Anybody Old enough to remember those things would understand.
its not just indians any rural route lol how misleading
Good point. What about rural whites, blacks and hispanics who live in the middle of nowhere?
This is Obama's laws. Remember him he was a Democrat.
Obama screwed you guys big time too, not just both parties or Trump. You are absolutely right.
OMG shut up. This was started by Obama. My state was one of the first state to do this. I didn't hear anyone protecting when I had to do this. It has nothing to do with indigenous peoples. Everyone in the US has to do this. It did wonders for the voter fraud in my state. Just remembered who started this, Obama. I had to do this four years ago, so cry me a river. I didn't hear anyone protesting when my state had to do it. It is also part of the 911 system. Plus a Homeland security thing. Get with the program this has been going on for years.
X x This isn’t something started by the federal government, it’s a policy started by state legislatures to suppress minority votes.
Wahpahh then why does all states have to comply? At the last election I had to showy ID and it had to have a physical address on it. This is federal it was in acted by George W and finalized by Obama. This is created by Homeland security. Every home and business in the US must have physical address. You are just being a winey victim cry baby. Everyone on the country has to do this.
Oh well if I after to have a address on my Dr.lic so does everyone else... Got it. Got nothing to do with Republicans...
@Dottie Smith - You're assuming they have driver's licenses. The poor people I know have neither cars nor driver's licenses and the same situation is reported to exist in North Dakota. They simply cannot afford them.
I suggest you step outside of your economic silo and start paying attention to how other Americans live.
Yvonne Tomenga like I said if I have to an address on my Dr. lic. so does everyone else. Oh by the way I live in my van for 6 years and I am 62 years. I don't drink, don't smoke, never done drugs or gamble. Plus their more Americans that has address on their Dr lic to... Don't you have an address on your Dr lic... Being poor has nothing to do with the address on your Dr lic. You can get P.O Box or use a family member address. Oh by the way I still live in my van along with many Americans. I suggest you do your research before you open your mouth little girl...No body feel sorry for us....Got it...
@@dottiesmith2439 - I don't have a driver's license; nor do many other Americans. That is the first problem the Native Americans in North Dakota have. Since their families are also on the reservation, with no street address, they have no family address to use.
Furthermore, in the rural area where I grew up, only the people who lived in the village had a street address. Most of the people in the township had rural delivery addresses or rented a PO Box, if they could afford it.
North Dakota's law is disenfranchising them because they have no street address and the state will no longer accept a P.O. Box, which is what appears on their tribal IDs.
I happen to agree with the tribal member who said he could use his tribal ID to clear TSA or go to Canada, but could not get into his own voting booth. That may not strike you as wrong, but it does me.
Yvonne Tomenga I like I said if other Americans have to have an address on their Dr lic so should everyone else.... No excuse...
@@dottiesmith2439 - Watch the video. It addresses your issue.
You were required to put your physical address when you filled out your voter registration card. Your physical residence address determines your district. Having your physical address on your Indian voter ID card makes perfect sense so that they can check to make sure your address is the same. It has absolutely nothing to do with voter suppression.
North Dakota doesn't require voter registration.
@@WestCoast824 Do they have drivers licenses in ND? If so, you can't put a PO box on that either. Indians need to get it together. No excuses.
DL isn't a requirement to have either. Tribal government issued ID cards is a acceptable form of ID when voting.
Also, they are "getting it together". Didn't you watch the video.
Mac Tek The problem is it was done three weeks prior to midterms.
@@mactek6033 - You are ill-informed. Many Native Americans don't have driver's licenses, particularly the older ones, who never had a chance to learn to drive.
Another factor is that this change was finalized only three weeks before the election (per this video.) Learning to drive, getting appointments for driving tests for approximately 700,000 people (or less since a separate report said some of the younger people do have licenses) seems a stretch.
This is a clear case of voter suppression by the Republican state government. Time & again I've seem Republican elected officials & commentators accuse Democrats of identity politics but the Republicans are playing the same game. The only difference is the Democrats are willing to represent more groups. The Republican message is if you're not of White European ancestry, we don't care.
I blame the natives
That's because you're a snatch
vote red
