Nothing new about this at all. There is a long history of disenfranchisement of Native Americans in this country. It was not until 1924 that all of them got the right to vote through passage of the American Indian Citizenship Act (most, however, already had the vote as a consequence of the General Allotment Act). Until the passage of the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts, Indians on reservations were frequently disenfranchised by the states. Here in Montana the state passed a voter ID law which disproportionately impacts Natives. The list just goes on and on.

Obama Blue's the best thing to happen to the Republican party since Reagan.
