2020-02-13 | North Dakota Tribes Score Key Voting Rights Victory - The New York Times

'North Dakota officials have reached a settlement with two Native American tribes over the state’s restrictive voter identification law. '

'The settlement, announced on Thursday, includes a legally binding consent decree to ensure that Native American voters are not disenfranchised. '

'It is a major victory for the tribes and — pending formal approval by tribal councils — will resolve two lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the law, which requires voters to show an ID with a residential address. '

'Heitkamp was defeated by Kevin Cramer, a Republican, in 2018. '

'Many Native American reservations do not use traditional addresses, and the law — which the Republican-controlled North Dakota Legislature passed shortly after a Democrat, Heidi Heitkamp, won a close Senate race in 2012 with strong support from Native Americans — meant they could not vote with an ID that listed a post office box as an address.
