Must be driving Pocahontas crazy.

WOW. Thanks for a truly eye-opening article. I had never thought about any of this; I knew nothing of the Native American voting in Minnesota, for example, and I live there. It seems to me that Republicans must get off their ivory towers, find out how to appeal to members of the Democrats' coalition, and dismantle that coalition step by step. I discuss this coalition that keeps Democrats forever in office here: There's nothing crazy about the Democrats' agenda: https://daveziffer.substack.com/p/theres-nothing-crazy-about-the-democrats

Thanks for reminding me of this article of yours. I already cross posted it. I think I will use it as an embed at the end of an upcoming article. I got the idea of studying Indians' voting patterns when I noticed that the blue counties in South Dakota were all reservations. The one reservation in Minnesota is at the very, very NE tip of the state, a very small reservation.
