With such a low population density, voting by mail isn’t necessary. What is wrong with these people?

Indian reservations are Apartheid and racist and should be dissolved.

Oh no!

How will those 300 voters cast their 5000 votes?

And why do people in a “sovereign nation” get to vote in our elections?

We can’t vote in their elections.

Wow, I guess there were never any Elections on Indian Lands before this one.

The slow-moving nature of mail everything on large reservations puts the people who live there at a disadvantage to getting their votes counted, advocates say.

Fixed.

One piece of mail going in and one coming out per voter. I bet Publishers Clearinghouse alone has ten times that flow of mail into the reservations.

Having a “sovereign” nation within a sovereign nation is contradictory. Either they are Americans, or they’re not.

Eliminate special treatment and privileges for all who claim to be “native Americans.” Close the reservations.

So vote in person. Like John Wayne said, life is hard. It’s harder when you’re stupid.

Cocktail napkin math: sqrt(2000) = 44.72. If a perfect square, it has edges of 44.72 miles. A corner to corner diagonal is 63.24 miles. A dead-center post office is 31.6 miles maximum distance from any point in the square. It's a rural setting. Long drives are the norm. 31.6 miles is not a long drive for a one-off trip to vote.

Last year I visited this area for two months.
So very poor with little vision of any future.
Many trying to live with the old ways.
Many who have given up.
