On Oct. 14, Dion Jackson mailed in an absentee ballot application for the upcoming election. Jackson, an enrolled member of the Spirit Lake Tribe who lives on the Spirit Lake Reservation in North Dakota, is an American who is qualified to vote. But on Oct. 22, he received a letter explaining that his application had been rejected. The street address that Jackson had listedthe one that appears on his state-issued IDwas invalid, the letter explained. If he did not take further action, he would not be allowed to vote in the midterm election. --- kin to all that throbs ... Copied to Clipboard!

For decades, North Dakotans could vote with a valid residential or mailing address, which allowed rural tribal voters to use their P.O. Box as identification. After Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp triumphed in 2012 by fewer than 3,000 votes, Republicans altered the law. Heitkamp won with strong support from Native Americans, so the GOP passed legislation that targeted their access to the franchise. The new law compels voters to present an ID at the polls that lists their current residential (not mailing) addressor, if voting by absentee ballot, provide one that corresponds to a state database. Oh those crafty republicans --- The night brims with defiled scum,and is permeated by their rotten stench. Just think. Now you're all set to hunt and kill to your heart's content. ...

I really just don't understand any of this. Like, Republicans realize they're just making it worse for themselves when Democrats inevitably regain control, right? They're not cementing power, only delaying the inevitable and multiplying the blowback.
