On the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in northwest Montana, many tribal members don't have a way to reliably get into town and vote during elections, nor do their homes have mail service to send in an absentee ballot.

Renee LaPlant, an organizer with the Indigenous get-out-the-vote group Western Native Voice, is driving across the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in northwest Montana.
"Glacier National Park is just right up there," she says. "But the rest of it is mostly all of the reservation. It's vast. It's huge."
So huge, LaPlant says, that many tribal members don't have a way to reliably get into town and vote during elections, nor do their homes have mail service to send in an absentee ballot.
