I paid to ride the bus, and part of my payment goes to pay the fuel the bus uses which has federal taxes on it for the win.
I dunno. Sounds like maybe the bus can vote then? Not you though, for sure.

They passed a law months before an election stating voters could only use ID that had a residential street address on it knowing the native population didn’t use residential street addresses.
THEY DON'T HAVE ONE.Who the hell doesn't have an address to give? If a person lives at a reservation, then put the address of that place down. Just like any multi residential location.
THEY DON'T HAVE ONE.
How is that so hard to understand? They never needed one. EVER.
They use PO Boxes. There is no USPS service into the sparse reservation land.You telling me reservations have never received postal service?
That there's no "front" building for a mailing address?

Do homeless people relinquish the right to vote?
In North Dakota they do now.Do homeless people relinquish the right to vote?
Sure that's why North Dakota changed the law that requires street addresses knowing that native Americans who live on reservations don't have them.
Georgia enacted an exact match policy knowing only 2.5% of white ballots are being rejected and 20-30% of minority ballots are.
Other states have been closing polling places in predominately black districts.
Year right!
It's a good thing those left wing voter rights advocates are out there defending the voting rights against right-wing trash bags.https://www.politifact.com/facebook...-americans-werent-last-get-right-vote-occupy/
North Dakota’s law does pose obstacles for many tribal citizens who don’t have street addresses. However, through the work of voter rights advocates and officials with the Secretary of State’s office, there are ways that Native American voters who have PO boxes instead of residential street addresses will be able to vote. The law does not mean they are losing their right to vote altogether.
Yeah people are jumping through hoops hoping as many as possible will be able to vote. But the poor and isolated are screwed. They won’t all get looked after and it’s unnecessary. They were able to vote in the primaries etc... but not the actual election due to this law. They are scrambling with a month ago to get thousands of people taken care of.https://www.politifact.com/facebook...-americans-werent-last-get-right-vote-occupy/

In her dissent, Justice Ginsburg noted that the numbers of North Dakota residents who are affected by this change is significant: "1) 70,000 North Dakota residents -- about 20 percent of the turnout in a regular quadrennial election -- lack qualifying ID; and 2) approximately 18,000 residents lack supplemental documentation sufficient to permit them to vote without an ID."
Voters casting their ballots early in Texas claimed this week that when casting Democratic or Republican straight-ticket ballots, voting machines in at least 80 counties in the Lone Star State flipped their votes to the other party in key midterm races, including the high-profile competition between incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz and his Democratic opponent Beto O'Rourke.
The Texas secretary of state's office on Friday said that there have been issues reported with Hart eSlate voting machines, which are used in approximately 30 percent of counties statewide. The machines feature a wheel for selecting candidates and buttons to move from screen to screen.
But the secretary of state's office said the issues were not caused by the voting machines, but by voters themselves.
"The Hart eSlate machines are not malfunctioning, the problems being reported are a result of user error — usually voters hitting a button or using the selection wheel before the screen is finished rendering," said Sam Taylor, spokesman for the office of Secretary of State Rolando Pablos.

Personally I agree. I think there's more corruption dealing with voter exclusion... But I also think there should be restrictions on who can vote. If you don't pay into the system I don't feel you should have a vote.
I see it doesn't bother you that that state failed to see if Native Americans got street addresses BEFORE enacting the new law.https://www.politifact.com/facebook...-americans-werent-last-get-right-vote-occupy/

1. How would they do that?I see it doesn't bother you that that state failed to see if Native Americans got street addresses BEFORE enacting the new law.
1. How would they do that?
2. If you read the article you would know even without an address they can still vote.
It's kind of a crappy law but it's not the shitball of fire people are making it out to be.
It ain't that tough to ensure people have their new addresses before changing the law.1. How would they do that?

Whatever you say bossIt ain't that tough to ensure people have their new addresses before changing the law.
But hey I guess its fine putting up roadblocks to voting for certain people. I don't see Democrats closing polling places in Republican white districts.
You know different? Then by all means, enlighten us ignorant folks.Whatever you say boss
