Voter Suppression & Indigenous Communities

2020-11-16 22:30:32.673049+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Despite record voter turnout, Indigenous communities face different kinds of voter suppression

"We still have tribes where you're forced to vote inside of a police station. That's your only polling place and they run your plates while you're there. Some of this is really egregious, outrageous, 1940s-style voter suppression. I wish people knew more about that," Landreth said.

I know a couple of people who've had some troubles with the law, who loaned their cars to family members, and said family members were surprised at how after not being pulled over for years, they suddenly had two or three traffic stops in the course of 50 miles.
