I did some research on Welfare a while ago and excerpted a bit about Native Americans. Shannon County was accused of Voter Fraud during the Thune race. There is a national review article in my link that goes into detail over this.
Shannon county is the second poorest county in the nation. In 1990 it was the poorest. In the word of the Shannon County GOP head it's 'pure communism'. It is really, really a crying shame no one is doing anything about this. Government IS the problem. This is described in this link:

People need to keep a close eye on those counties during this senate race. And people need to get the word out to Native Americans that life is NOT improving under Democratic leadership.
Tremendous post! I am praying that Daschle is not returned to the US Senate for SIX MORE YEARS on the stregnth of this sort of illegality. I hope SD is crawling with GOP poll-watchers. Maybe as the battleground states become fewer, more resources can be deployed up there to retire the soft-spoken, diminutive Minority Leader.
