"Voting Access for Native Americans"

by Candice Norwood

Another lawsuit, brought by members of the Navajo Nation, seeks to change Arizona’s requirement that mail ballots must be received by 7 p.m. on Election Day in order to be counted. Native Americans instead want ballots postmarked by Nov. 3 and received by Nov. 13 to be counted, which a number of states have done to accommodate voting during the pandemic.

The plaintiffs’ complaint pointed to the fact that there is one post office for every 707 square miles on the reservation, and that only about 29 percent of tribe members own cars. The lawsuit does not mention access to polling places for the general election. Navajo County, Arizona, is a 9,960-square-mile area of which about 6,500 square miles are reservation land for three different tribes — Navajo Nation, Hopi and Fort Apache. Between the three tribes the county will have eight early voting sites and 20 Election Day voting sitWhy does the text leave information about the ballot collection deadline uncertain?

The correct response is:

because the writer did not know the outcome at the time the text was written.

The text discusses a lawsuit that is ongoing, and it does not provide a definitive conclusion or outcome regarding the ballot collection deadline, which indicates that the writer is presenting information that is still in progress and not yet resolved.
