WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 2002 Blaine County in Montana on Tuesday night held the second in a series of meetings to reconsider its voting system. A federal court has ruled the way the county's commissioners are elected discriminates against Native voters. The county has proposed new districts affecting the Fort Belknap Reservation. According to The Great Falls Tribune, some residents on and off the reservation questioned the changes at last night's session. A tribal member wondered what services the county provides.
