File Attached - click here for more info


Description: Mr. Chairman and members of the subcommittee, I want to thank you for providing me an opportunity to submit this statement on denial and suppression of the American Indian vote.

Techniques for vote denial and suppression have included the maintenance and manipulation of discriminatory election procedures, the refusal to provide access to registration and voting, the adoption of discriminatory ID requirements for voting, and unwarranted allegations of voter fraud.
