Also does Nooksack have a ballot throw out policy like Pala? If ballots have any markings they toss them.

There are other concerns beyond disenrollment for all tribes, although killing off such a large number of your tribe has to rank high on the list of concerns.<br /><br />Honestly, I know that voter fraud is real, and it brings me great sadness to think that many tribes can't even trust in the fairness of their elections. It was never like this in the old days. Of course there wasn't much in the way of democracy at all before it was forced on tribes.<br /><br />All in all, especially for tribes with casinos and lots of money to distribute, democracy is a necessity, as are checks and balances, and external independent audits. You just can't trust your leaders anymore. If you trust you get burned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-40620540580854536152014-03-16T16:30:21.022-04:002014-03-16T16:30:21.022-04:00so sorry for the Nooksack 306.
