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 coordi nator I leather Dawn Thompson. "This has never been done in In dian Country before with the excep tion of South Dakota. So we're pretty excited about it," said Thompson, who is also president of the Native Ameri can Bar Association in Washington, D.C Other states included in the project are Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Michi gan, Minnesota, Montana, North Da kota, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma, Washington and Wisconsin. Thompson said problems in South Dakota illustrate the importance of voter's access and education. During one South Dakota election, partisan poll watchers stood in front of heavily Indian precincts and told voters to go home if they didn't have an ID, Thompson said. But Thompson said South Dakota law allows people who have no ID to vote by signing an affidavit attesting to their identity.
