Native Vote

Getting out the vote on the Navajo Nation sounds like way more fun than the postcards and texts I've been doing. Where's my skateboarding and bull riding?

Even less fun is the phonebanking I'm about to start, but it's almost entirely leaving voicemails, and as a podcaster I am officially an expert in talking to no one. Play to your strengths, right?

"Only in a country this twisted could the original inhabitants of this land be rendered unable to vote because they are perceived to not have proper residency in their own homelands."
