The Native Voice newspaper plans to print at least 125,000 of its upcoming issue in hopes of increasing voter turnout among Native Americans.

The paper normally prints 12,000 copies but has obtained sponsors to print more. The Viejas Band of the Kumeyaay Indians from California helped out with $10,000.

Frank King and Lise Balk King, the husband and wife team that owns and runs the paper, say they want Native people to realize their vote counts.
