Republicans still driving Natives from the polls

President Joe Biden restored the White House Tribal Nations Summit after the former guy declared war on Indian Country and undercounted Indigenous Americans because Republicans want citizens to believe democracy isn’t for everybody. 

But blocking the vote in Indian Country is hardly a new phenomenon since South Dakota and Montana have been doing it for decades. Groups like Four Directions have recorded voting rights abuses against Native Americans including in South Dakota.

Now, under orders from the American Legislative Exchange Council Republicans are doing it again with something called the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act sponsored by Representative Chip Roy (Earth hater-TX) but Pres. Biden has pledged to veto it.

“This bill is designed to intimidate, discourage and prevent eligible tribal members from registering to vote,” San Carlos Apache Tribe Chairman Terry Rambler said in a press release. “This legislation is an unconstitutional attempt to suppress the Native American vote and comes after the high turnout in the 2020 election decisively impacted federal election results in Arizona.” [San Carlos Tribe Opposes Legislation Passed by the House that Would Require Photo IDs to Vote]

Donald Trump hates American Indians so deeply after losing a 1993 casino case under the 1988 Indian Gaming Act he deployed Covid as a biological weapon in 2020 to annihilate as many people as he could and so far he has gotten away with attempted genocide.

The SAVE Act is an extreme measure, masquerading as election security, that would prevent millions of American citizens from easily registering to vote.
