Good News: Voting Rights in the US

[beatrice_otter]

South Dakota hasn't been complying with the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (aka the "Motor Voter Act"), and doing so in a way that disenfranchised Native voters, especially those who lived on reservations, more than any other group. The Rosebud Sioux Tribe, Oglala Sioux Tribe, Lakota People’s Law Project, and individual voters sued them, and they just won! South Dakota now has to fix their voter registration process so it complies with the NVRA, and they have to cover all the court costs of the groups and people that sued them.
