North Dakota Democrats to hunters: Voting could cost you your hunting license https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washing...nse%3f_amp=true Heidi Heitkamp isn’t like most Democrats. The junior senator from North Dakota supports the Second Amendment: She defends gun rights publicly, she pushes pro-hunting bills, and she earned an "A" rating from the National Rifle Association. So, it’s odd that the North Dakota Democratic Party is trying to keep hunters from voting. But that's exactly what they're doing. Democrats are warning hunters if they show up at the polls they may miss out on the next hunting season. The ads are well-designed and authoritative and the message, misleading: “Attention Hunters: Voting in North Dakota could cost you your out-of-state hunting licenses.” Put another way, it seems the party is telling voters that they can’t exercise one right without losing another. North Dakota columnist Rob Port was the first to spot the misinformation campaign, and a cursory search using Facebook’s searchable database tool confirms it is the North Dakota Democratic Party behind the ads. But while the ads are real, when contacted by Port, the secretary of state and the North Dakota Game and Fish Department couldn’t think of any reason why voting would endanger a hunting license. Whatever operative thought up this ad campaign clearly doesn’t understand the hunting demographic. Anyone willing to go through the paperwork necessary to hunt out-of-state will probably go through the trouble of looking up the law. What’s more, hunters are a politically motivated bunch. They probably won’t take kindly to this kind of stunt. It could end up backfiring. Democrats routinely accuse Republicans of voter suppression. Just this week, Heitkamp accused Republicans of stifling the Native American vote after deciding “there are certain people in North Dakota they don’t want to vote.” But Democrats don’t actually believe what they're saying when they use that line. A get-out-the-vote effort in support of Heitkamp reminds Native Americans on reservations that they don’t even have to register to vote. They just need government identification that shows a street address. During a recent campaign forum, which was covered only by a tribal newspaper and later discovered by Port, Heitkamp told tribal leaders that "while there have been some changes in North Dakota's voting laws, I want everyone to know that voting is still easy here." So much for all the panic. Again, Port (whose blog is the best political read in North Dakota) was the first to spot postcards sent to North Dakota reservations encouraging them to “know your rights!” and “make your voice heard on November 6!” And it’s not a problem if voters don’t have tribal or state identification. As the mailer notes, even a tribal letter with a printed residential address is enough to vote. At least in North Dakota then, it seems that Democrats don’t mind a little voter suppression. They complain about it, knowing it isn't real, and then turn around and try to cook up schemes to scare Republicans away from voting.

Just heard about this on Tucker Carlson. Totally makes no sense if someone actually stops and thinks about it for more then 10 seconds. I don't think more than a handful of people would fall for it and as you said, might just po independents who haven't made up their mind to vote against HH. Some dumb, out-of-state young turk figured that one out and probably didn't ask anyone who really was a North Dakotan if it was a good idea. I'd say let them do more stupid stuff in the next 5 days.
As for suppressing the NA vote in SD, good luck!! That group votes 90-10 for the Dems and has for years. Cost John Thune his first senatorial race against Tim Johnson back in the early 2000s. The Dems don't actually buy NA votes in SD but they sure incentivize folks presence near the polling place on election day. Typically there is a big free food bash a few blocks away put on by Dem supporting groups. For the rural reservation folks, they can come to town, vote, and go have a multi-hour feast. Most of the locals have never figured out that voting almost exclusively one-party hasn't improved their community all that much. Not much has changed on most of SD's reservations, each year (or when the Census does their estimates for that metric besides the decadal thing) usually 4-5 out of the 10 poorest counties in the country by per captia income are homes to SD reservations.

Someone is running around with fraudulent voter guides as well. Putting conservative stats on democratic candidates and communist stats on conservative canadates so that conservatives might be fooled.
Then putting them in churches

If there are any ND guys on here I'd like to know how the is going-over in ND. I would think if it gets much publicity it will backfire on the Dems.

“Voting means you are a resident, it means you pay taxes here, it means that if you want a residential hunting license in Minnesota, it means you’re not going to get that, if you vote here,” So what they are saying is true. It does not apply to all hunters- only to those that claim to be residents in two or more states. It is true in every state, if it can be proven that you are a resident in another state you can not be a resident in two states. If you vote Ak you will lose your resident status in NY, etc. What they do not say is that by voting in ND you will also lose your right to vote in Mn. Not sure that dumping a candidate that favors the 2nd and is rated high by NRA is a good thing. I guess that dumping her because you can only pull one lever makes sense.

Not sure that dumping a candidate that favors the 2nd and is rated high by NRA is a good thing. I guess that dumping her because you can only pull one lever makes sense. Not completely true. If, as a resident of Minnesota, you purchased a lifetime license it is still good no matter where you live. That would be the only exception that I know of.
