Montana is ground zero for Native American voter suppression — and the fight against it
July 7, 2021 /
Who bears the burden? You’ll never guess:
Geography, poverty and politics all create obstacles for Native Americans. The Blackfeet reservation is roughly the size of Delaware but had only two election offices and four ballot drop-off locations last year, one of which was listed as open for just 14 hours over two days. Many other reservations in Montana have no polling places, meaning residents must go to the county seat to vote, and many don’t have cars or can’t afford to take time off.
Opinion: The Supreme Court won’t stand up for voting rights. But some state courts will.
