A quick question,

Do Native Americans get a vote in the US?


U would think obviously yes, but Im completely unaware.

Y/N?

I would think so, since any legal citizen over the age of 18 has the right to vote.

But, I've never heard of any rights movement or have seen a Native American voting....so I'm honestly not 100% sure.

[Raven]

Yes.

[Dogma]

ANY American citizen that has attained the age of 18 has the right to vote, unless they have done something to have that right revoked.


It used to be that if you were convicted of a felony you lost your right to vote, however, of late, there has been a movement in Democratic circles to have that right restored.

I would assume that all Native Americans would be voteing for Obama...?

Seeing as they are sure to remember when John McCain was a young lad, and took their land.

Z grow up already.

Can admins put all Z threads together since they are basically nothing but bashing Republicans. I'm tired of looking at GD and seeing nothing but threads made by Z which we all know what they're about.

I'm actually interested in this topic myself considering that unemployment and people living below poverty levels is insanely high on reservations. Drugs and alcohol are also high.

The conditions on the reservations are sad, I'll actually give Canada a leg up since they created Nunavut, although a lot of First Nations in the Maritimes and Quebec are still getting the shaft from their government similar to most tribes over here. The casino industry can be lucrative for some, however (Seneca, Cherokee).
