Native America Calling: Can education and outreach counter increasing — and confusing — voter restrictions?

Can education and outreach counter increasing — and confusing — voter restrictions?
Both presidential campaigns are pouring resources into Arizona, a swing state where Native American votes could make a substantial difference in the outcome of the election.

But it’s also a state emblematic of laws — proof of citizenship, limits on ballot collecting — that voting advocates say hinders or discourages Native voter participation. As it is, a glitch in the state’s citizenship verification methods puts the votes of some 218,000 registered voters of all races and political persuasions in jeopardy.

Also on the campaign trail, an incumbent Idaho state lawmaker angrily told a Nez Perce challenger — the only person of color in the race — “go back where you came from.” Candidate Trish Carter-Goodheart said she was shaken and worried about her safety. Join Native America Calling to hear from Carter-Goodheart about the event.
