North Dakota tribal leaders: Different Nations are working together to propel Heitkamp to victory
"Even though we are sovereign nations, we all rise together. It is actually a beautiful thing.”

ST. MICHAEL, NORTH DAKOTA — North Dakota’s Native peoples are united behind Sen. Heidi Heitkamp and determined to translate that support into votes on Tuesday, despite the state’s restrictive voter ID laws that is making it harder for them to cast ballots, elected leaders of two tribal nations said.
That’s because Heitkamp (D-ND) has listened to Native voices, while her Republican opponent Kevin Cramer (R-ND) and other leading Republicans — including President Trump — are viewed negatively by many tribal people.
Heitkamp’s “got the support. I know Cramer might have a couple of people but she’s got the support,” Myra Pearson, chair of Spirit Lake Sioux tribe, told ThinkProgress.
“I think our people now are woke and they are standing up and they are not only getting out to vote but they are also looking at all the candidates,” said Jamie Azure, chair of Turtle Mountain Nation. He estimated 70 to 80 percent of the tribe votes Democrat, which is why Republicans targeted Native Americans with the voter ID laws.
However, their efforts have backfired, said Azure. So far, Turtle Mountain has issued 2,000 new IDs since the 2016 election, meaning far more tribal members will be able to vote on Tuesday than did two years ago.

YES IT IS!
because pretty much everyone has given this seat up. 
This is actually not that different from what Lisa Murkowski was able to do in Alaska to get on the ballot as a write-in in 2010. I.e., she got the support of the Inuit and other native Alaskans and she has listened to them when it comes to some (not all) topics of interest.
