    Eventually all Oklahoma Counties went for Trump, though it was late for OK County, but Trump was the weakest where the highest Native populations reside

    Why does she assume they are referring to only Amerindians?

    Did CNN say so later on?

    I would imagine it is a catch all label for other.

    Amerindians only make up around 2% of the population, so 4% of the "something else" have to be non Amerindians.

    She knows that, but thinks they should be listed in their own category (as in the Census).
    And “something else” is a bad choice of words. CNN could have said “other.”

    An odd description. If you went to Baskin Robbins and saw Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, Rocky Road and Something Else, you're not getting the Something Else.

    Pretty much the same for all Reservations that aren't co-populated with white folks - IOW Oklahoma


    However - this is big - from the People who said "NEVER!" even after the Washington DC footballs team dropped....

    It wasn't just that he used "Pocahontus" as an insult, but that he did so at an event honoring Navajo Code Talkers - veterans of World War Two. It was so amazingly tone deaf.

    Also likely impacting the Navajo vote was the staggering impact of Covid on the reservation, with precious little reaction - or even sympathy - from Trump and company.

    And, also, that the administration/Trump campaign only announced their plans for native communities a few weeks ago. This article from late October in the Spokesman-Review (Spokane WA) had a great overview of the Biden and Trump plans, and the regional reaction from area tribes.

    Referencing back to Nebraska v. Parker and reinforced by McGirt:

    OK Grocery Store Seeks ruling on state-tribal sales tax dispute:



    As I said then, the Parker decision is going to clean the clocks of states that have been collecting sales taxes from businesses on tribally owned / reservation / restricted / leased land.

    Not only will tribes be able to shut state sales tax collections and limit state jurisdiction on these lands - mineral extraction, where the feds have been taking royalties off of tribal lands are now subject to this

    I thought Hunter was involved in some energy thing now. Then realized it was just OK Whitelandians doing what they do worst.

    Well the "good thing" for the State is this

    Maybe if they can get them to hunt each other, it will be like the good old days.
