Native Americans In Montana Face Hurdles To Voting In June 2nd Primary Election

Native Americans in Montana face hurdles to voting in next month’s primary election. Among the challenges is the Ballot Interference Prevention Act a new law that bans ballot collection and due to COVID-19 all Montana counties are providing a vote by mail option. Marci McLean head of Western Native Voice says this presents a challenge to Native Americans on reservations the overwhelming majority of whom have their mail delivered to a post office box.
