What oppression. Record turnout is oppression?

And the law (requiring a street address, not a PO box) stood up to judicial challenge.
Before you say it, every square foot of ND has a street address (per the statewide 911 system).

There always seems to be one.

This year's "Win From Beyond the Grave" election winner is ...

Dennis Hof


So will, uh, ... flags, yeah, flags ... be at half-staff because of his death. :D

So Dave Hutchinson, the gay cop, backed by the DFL, is ahead by a few thousand votes for Hennepin co sheriff. Stanek, the GOP right wing hardliner, won’t concede.
I’m amazed- hutch didn’t have a very organized campaign early on but enough people were sick of the stanek way

The whole deploying officers to standing rock nonsense couldn't have helped his cause. Not to mention with his far right views it's kinda amazing that he was ever successful here to begin with (and shows how little competition he must've had).

In Maine the address they put on your ID is your mailing address.

You can request a physical address on the back, but it isn’t mandatory
 
Re: 2018 Midterms 2: I Need A Drink!

ND passed a law requiring a street mailing address on ID used for voting to prove you live in the district you're trying to vote in. A PO box doesn't prove you live in the district you're trying to vote in. The reservations all have ND recognized street addresses.

The issue is North Dakota’s voter ID laws, which were enacted over a year ago and upheld earlier this year by the U.S. Supreme Court (with votes from liberal Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Stephen Breyer, no less).

Heitkamp had little to say about ID policy when it was created by the Legislature last year, but in need of a talking point at the bitter end of her clumsy campaign the Senator suddenly sees it as a travesty.

Heitkamp and the national networks of left wing activists who are now showering her campaign with money and support (bought with the incumbent’s vote against Brett Kavanaugh, no doubt) are busy branding North Dakotans as a bunch of racist rubes out to disenfranchise Native Americans.

This isn’t true, of course, but supposing for a moment it was, where were these people when this law was passed?

Why did they wait until just weeks before election day to make a stink, when issues with tribal ID’s could have been resolved months and months ago?

Why did so many of them only start to care when it became a campaign issue?

It’s still easy for Native Americans to vote (as Heitkamp herself has been saying during visits to Indian country) but it’s politically convenient for Heitkamp and her surrogates to pretend otherwise.

Both as a way to inflame her left wing base ahead of voting, and perhaps as an excuse for losing on election day.
