WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 2002 The Fort Belknap Tribes of Montana will submit their own voting plan for a local county because they weren't consulted properly. Blaine County officials said they tried to get in touch with the tribe but couldn't reach anyone. So they submitted their plan to a federal judge. Council President Ben Speakthunder, however, said at least eight council members were available. A new map is required because a federal judge ruled that the county was violating the rights of Native voters. Get the Story:
