thisfinecrewDo you know anyone who might know anyone in North Dakota, etc.?
Summary courtesy ofrecessional:
Big messy ugly shit is going on but the tl;dr is that currently a way has been found to disenfranchise basically all on-reservation voters in North Dakota, because PO Box addresses are no longer accepted (and quite a LOT of residents of the reservations don't HAVE street addresses as yet). BUT. It turns out there may be a way to get the needed street address that is no-charge and while the whole thing is Kafkaesque IT'S STILL IMPORTANT.
So.
If you think you know anybody in North Dakota who might be able to help this info get where it needs to go (or know someone who might know someone, or so on) PLEASE PASS IT AROUND.
Note from me: this is also a particular attack on a seat with a very vulnerable incumbent Democratic senator, Heidi Heitkamp, who (as you may recall) recently voted "no" on Kavanaugh despite the potential political cost for her.
A senior HuffPo reporter says: Democrats believe this law, which disproportionately impacts Native Americans, was explicitly passed in reaction to Heitkamp’s upset win in 2012.

Link to donate to her campaign should you feel so moved
