Do you vote in local elections? What does that have to do with anything?

Eligibility to vote in local elections is not based on race. That's what the Civil Rights movement was all about.

No. Only on location because it is assumed that the person you are voting for will represent you.

However no matter where you live the tribal representative can not represent you if you are not a member of the tribe. He can't, it isn't possible. And since he can not represent you then you may not vote for him anymore then I can vote for a representative from another state.
