BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) -- A federal judge on Monday blocked North Dakota's voter identification law after a group of American Indians said it unfairly burdens them - the latest court ruling against voting laws that critics say disproportionately affect minorities.
U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland issued a temporary restraining order and criticized the state for its 2013 repeal of provisions that let people without valid IDs vote if someone vouched for them or if they signed an affidavit swearing they were a qualified voter.

“Do they need an ID to collect Indian benefits or get on the reservation?”
Actually yes tribal memberships are hard to get.
Can’t let Obama’s millions of carefully seeded Illegal Idiots go to waste
Actually Trump was just on Hannity saying he feared a rigged election and hoped the RNC was on top of it.

To:
All Free Republic members -there is one Key thing we can all do to help Mr Trump win in November. And that is, every morning we all need to - - call in to C-span and if it's busy, keep trying. The program is called 'Washington Journal' (Cspan will have the Call In phone numbers -on the screen- right after they've spent a few minutes discussing the first topic for the morning)
When you get through the first thing you will hear is something like this:
"Cspan, where are you calling from?"
And then they'll probably say: "What do you have to say / or what is your question?" (just say you have comments about the coming election)
You'll then be placed on Hold and you'll be able to hear the live broadcast while you are on hold.
.Then, when it's your turn, they'll probably say this:
"Caller, what is your name and where are you calling from?"
And you tell them your state you live in.
Then they'll ask you "...what is your question this morning?"
- ....you can start by saying something like this:
"For everything having to do with politics and the coming election, I log on to freerepublic.com".
(make sure to pronounce free republic.com slowly and speak slowly) - -
Then you can say: I'm voting for Trump because....(and elaborate about Mr Trump and how you like his plan for this or that, etc.)
You'll probably be allowed about 2 minutes to talk.

It's all that simple. No big deal. :)
From 1999-2001 we fr members back then were constantly calling C-span and after redialing a couple times, we were all easily able to get through three to four times each month during those two years. (so that was about 12 calls in to Cspan by fr members each month back then)
And unlike back in those early days, there are now no long distance charges. You can call while having coffee, while sitting in your backyard, while watching tv, while walking down the sidewalk, etc.
If enough fr members call Cspan in the mornings, many of us should easily be able to get through.
So, like Travis McGee has stated above:

Cspan call in lines are open every morning 6AM to 9AM EST
Sad but true.........
Yeah he was.
It was just that the alternatives were so abhorrent.
Or at the liquor store?
Your #38 - superb, right on mark.

Clearly, according to the majority of jurists in the country, minorities in America are its most stupid and incompetent citizens.
Saving.
On TOP of it?!?!?
Hell, they're part of the problem!!!!
The LAST thing the RNC wants is for Trump to win!
The 'else' should be obvious.
The government appointed head of the North Dakota Indian Tribe got a big fat bribe (I mean donation) from the Clinton Global Initiative. To educate poor schoolgirls, of course.
Anyone see a pattern here leading up to the November election?
Yup, when I saw the title, I was going to mention this has happened in my home state of Kansas. Da*n tyrannical judges.
It's so da*n hypocritical. I saw an article where you had to show proper ID for the delegates to get in to the Democrat National Convention. The DNC uses proper ID for their convention but yet to vote, they just can't have that, da*n hypocrites.
I hope our SOS, Kris Kobach, can get voter ID back before the general election. There really is no disenfranchisement as it is not hard to get a proper ID to vote but that is the Big Lie they are running with now.

Same question I have asked myself over and over for years.
How can the requirement for VALID ID have a disproportionate effect on minorities; or on any race, religion, or color for that matter.
Do none of these people drive? Do none of these people ever write a check? Do none of these people ever cash a check? Do none of these people earn a paycheck? Have none of these people ever had to fill out a job application that requires that you identify yourself?
Do none of these people ever register for school, even K through 12’th grade?
Not being able to get an ID, even a free one is pure bullsh!t.
Do none of these people have a Social Security number?
And if they don’t, why don’t they?
My children got theirs within a month after they were born, and that was almost 40 years ago.
Nope. It's about the money. It's always about the money. Later we will find out their relatives got government grants to start up Jewelry Stores or High end Boutiques.
It's nothing more or less than liberal racists telling their underlings what's best for them.
It's tough not to have some kind of reaction when the lawless, corrupt politicians and judges start revealing how lawless and corrupt they truly are.
STATES DO NOT HAVE RIGHTS - ONLY PEOPLE HAVE RIGHTS.
TX is blocked even though minority voting went up in the two years we had the ID laws. The Democrats can always find a federal judge appointed by Clinton or Obama that will rule for Democrat voter fraud.
