Kris Beecher was quoted in the USA Today article, "For some Native Americans, casting a ballot means an 'absurd' trip to the polling site." The article discusses the unique barriers that Native American voters face, including sometimes having to travel hundreds of miles to a polling site or election officials not allowing identification cards issued by tribes. This year, activists were hoping for passage of federal voting rights legislation that included a bipartisan measure to better protect the rights of Native American voters, which failed to advance in the Senate. "I'm hopeful always, but it hurts to not see it passed for multiple years in a row," said Kris.
