The Spirit Lake Dakotah Nation of North Dakota is offering gas cards to people who provide rides on Election Day.
The cards are an incentive for people wiling to take people to a voting site off the reservation. The person that gives the most rides to Minnewauken will win a flat-screen television.
Minnewauken was set to be the only voting location in the Benson County until the tribe filed a lawsuit in federal court. The county was ordered to open two poling sites on the reservation.
