a statement that is clearly and directly explained
a statement that features factual information used to support an idea
For many Native Americans living on tribal reservations, a home address is not a standard number and street
name, like 735 Bleeker Street. Instead, it’s a series of instructions.
“They’ll say something like, I live off highway 86 by milepost 125 and a half,” said Gabriella Cázares-Kelly, a
member of the Tohono O’odham Nation and a Democratic candidate for Pima County recorder in Arizona.
These “nontraditional addresses” complicate things for indigenous voters during a time when the majority of states
have moved to voting by mail to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus. A record number of Americans are
expected to vote by mail in the November election. States like Nevada, Idaho, Montana and South Dakota, which
all include large stretches of tribal land, held their primary elections almost entirely by mail.

"Voting Access for Native Americans"
by Candice Norwood
Legal teams representing native people fought in court against a Montana law that restricted ballot collection. In
May, a judge issued a temporary restraining order to prevent the law from being enforced, and in late September a
state court struck down the law.
The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to hear arguments for another ballot collection case to determine whether to
overturn an Arizona law that bans ballot collection, which the state refers to as “ballot harvesting.” In January, a
federal appeals court upheld a lower court decision to strike down the law, but the ballot collection ban will remain
in effect until the Supreme Court ruling. No date for the hearing has been disclosed by the court.
