Apathy is the enemy

Native votes went missing in North Carolina. Tribal leaders vow that won’t happen again next week. Native American voting groups have made it their mission over the years to get as many of their members to the polls as possible. That effort has even greater urgency, as North Carolina prepares next week to hold one of its most closely watched elections ever. The 40,000 voting-eligible Lumbee tribal members living in North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District could swing the special election for the tightly contested U.S. House race pitting Republican Dan Bishop against Democrat Dan McCready. Ahead of next Tuesday’s vote, tribal members have been doing whatever it takes to get their fellow members to the polls. But it’s hard to overcome apathy when the alleged voter suppression effort that “lost” an unspecified amount of their votes in the last election could very well strike again.
