Proposed restrictions would make voting harder for Arizonaâs tribal communities
Native American voters helped secure President Joe Bidenâs narrow win in 2020, but Republican-backed proposals at the state legislature to restrict voting access could make the challenges tribal voters overcame last year even more daunting in 2022.
âWe have the lowest voter turnout of any minority group in the country, period,â said Navajo Nation member and Democratic state Rep. Jasmine Blackwater-Nygren. âWe already have so many barriers in access to voting in general that any voter suppression bill would only increase that disparity.â
One bill would require proof of identification with mail-in ballots, which Torey Dolan said will create difficulties for Native voters. Dolan is a Native Vote fellow at Arizona State Universityâs Indian Law Clinic and a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) â The U.S. Supreme Court was set to hear oral arguments in a case that will determine who is eligible to receive more than $530 million in federal virus relief funding set aside for tribes more than a year ago.
More than a dozen Native American tribes sued the U.S. Treasury Department to keep the money out of the hands of Alaska Native corporations, which provide services to Alaska Natives but do not have a government-to-government relationship with the United States.
The question raised in the case set for oral arguments on April 19 is whether the corporations are tribes for purposes of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, which defines âtribesâ under a 1975 law meant to strengthen their abilities to govern themselves.
