"also an election for tribal chairman, featuring the aging Indian activist Russell Means"

Thanks, TS - just some thoughts:

Is Russell Means still a fugitive from justice?

If everyone votes absentee due to the 40 mile drive to the polling place, why does it take until 8:00 the next morning to tally the results?

"Is Russell Means still a fugitive from justice?"

Russell Means, having served his time, now seems to split his efforts between making movies (The Last of the Mohicans) and stirring political pots (New Mexico and South Dakota). Before filing to run in the tribal election, he had filed to run for governor of New Mexico as a Libertarian. His candidacy was disallowed because of his felony conviction. Too bad, because keeping him in the New Mexico race would have made it really interesting, and possibly peeled off enough votes to swing the election to the Republican instead of Bill Richardson. ALso, keeping him in New Mexico rather than South Dakota might have swung that election to Thune. Does anyone knowhow he did in the res vote?
