American Indian group to monitor voting in 12 states
A national American Indian group plans to put poll watchers at voting precinct's with a high percentage of American Indian voters in Oklahoma and 12 other states, including Washington, on Nov. 2. The Native Vote 2004: Election Protection Project is an initiative to ensure that every Indian voter who is eligible to vote does, and that each vote is counted fairly, said national coordinator Heather Dawn Thompson. "This has never been done in Indian Country before with the exception of South Dakota. So we're pretty excited about it," said Thompson, who is also president of the Native American Bar Association in Washington, D.C.
