Pro-Biden effort offered Native Americans $25-$500 Visa gift cards and jewelry to vote

Key Native American leaders working with the Biden campaign offered tribal members and associates Visa gift cards, jewelry, and other “swag” to vote in the presidential election, according to several videos being used by the Trump campaign’s effort to challenge Nevada’s vote.

In one long video, officials from the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony are shown offering a raffle for gift cards in values of $25, $100, $250, and $500 to those who can prove they voted.

Other gifts for voting include bracelets, necklaces, earrings, T-shirts, and masks.

“If you come here to vote or if you voted already, RSIC is having a raffle,” said RSIC spokeswoman Bethany Sam in one of the videos.

She also said, there are “a lot of great things to push you guys to get out here to vote, challenge you go get you out here to vote.”

In the same video, she is shown wearing a Biden-Harris anti-virus mask and in front of the Biden-Harris campaign bus.

The Trump campaign is expected to present the videos today in a Carson City court as it presses its case to challenge enough votes to overturn the state’s election of Joe Biden.

In a briefing paper on their case, the campaign referred to a “Native American Votes for Dollars Scandal.”

It said, “A shocking number of states have discovered that groups claiming to support the Native American community’s voice at the polls have engaged in blatantly illegal bribery and vote incentivizing with cash cards, gas cards, electronics and other items. This scandal appears to have been rampant in Nevada. Posts on the Nevada Native Vote Project Facebook page show that similar raffles were conducted in 15 Nevada native communities, with 116 voters receiving $6,650 in cash prizes.”

The RSIC did not respond to an email seeking comment.

But a lawyer for Native Americans dismissed the charges to Nevada's NPR. “I think that this lawsuit is a little bit reckless,” Jacqueline De León, staff attorney for the Native American Rights Fund, told NPR. “It's sort of just casting a wide net of disparagement on the Nevada Native Vote Project. And it turns out a lot of their claims are unsubstantiated.”

She added that the raffles were open to all, but the videos limited entry to Native Americans and their associates or staffers.

The Native American vote was credited for pushing Biden over the victory line in some states such as Nevada and Arizona

This is illegal, but probably not enough to overturn the election, move along, nothing to see.

“This is illegal, but probably not enough to overturn the election, move along, nothing to see.”

Who knows? But in the perfect world, if everyone is in jail, who runs the country? And the term “accessory after the fact,” becomes a reality.

This was not a one trick pony. It is an accumulation of thousands of efforts being done at large and small. To get everyone would be a lifetime job. You would have to prosecute thousands upon thousands of people that accomplished their part of the illegal acts.

But using them to get to the big people may not take that many. We don’t need to send the little guys up the river for 90 days. We need to let them know we are going to prosecute them for hard time and give them a chance to make deals. Nothing short of giving up the big guy. Otherwise, any chance of a normal life is now gone. We’ll see how long they stay supporters when it isn’t going to be the goal they were told it would be at the end of the tunnel.

Of course, Democrats as a whole are lawbreakers, look at their peaceful protests. Compare that to the Staten Island protests, cop cars all over the place, not even a scratch on the cars.

“Democrats as a whole are lawbreakers...”

And that’s the part of the repercussion information that bothers me. The GOP is not doing their job by trying to say it is too may and much to get done. There’s a very simple order of things:

find how it happened (a lot of that already accomplished with more to come)

Find out who did it (in some instances there’s video tape)

Give them an opportunity turn state’s evidence (fed in this case)

Put them in jail and/or the ones they turn over

Sound tough? And I don’t care if it takes 25 years. Don’t quit going after them until everyone that can be, is, convicted. And if they flee, bring them back. If the country they flee to refuses, cut off their food or trade they need. I think you call that “hardball.” If you make the punishment bad enough, they won’t do something like this again. And keep the public in the know as to what is happening. Knowledge is king.
