Poll watchers on the reservation is easier said than done. The natives aren't exactly "friendly" to GOP poll watchers who want to stop them from committing fraud. I've been a poll watcher in a black precinct in Little Rock, and believe me, they don't want poll watchers there and will do anything to intimidate you. By the way, I thought Indian Reservations were "Sovereign territory", a nation unto itself. With this in mind, why are residents of reservations allowed to vote in U.S. elections? They are citizens of the Iriquois, or whatever tribe they are in, nation. Not the U.S. They shouldn't be allowed to vote in U.S. elections. The laws of the U.S. aren't enforceable on the reservation.

Good point. I'm still convinced that's why Thune lost the last time. Indian votes were bought and fraud was rampant . . . but Thune refused to challenge the results. If he'd been a Democrat, they'd still be counting.

THAT'S why I'll support him all I can this go-round. I'm not a rich man, but I'll do what I can. Dasshole has to go.
