Thanks to FairVote for the referral.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. received the highest percentage of the vote in South Dakota in Ziebach County, which is entirely in either the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation or the Standing Rock Reservation. He received 2.94% of the county’s vote. The best precinct was Red Scaffold, where he got 6.52%.
On November 5, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. polled 6.8% of the vote in Belknap, Montana, capital of the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation. It is Blaine County, and as a result, Kennedy’s percentage in Blaine County (4.01%) was higher than in any other Montana county.
Kennedy has long had a close connection to Native American communities in North America. See this podcast, in which Kennedy interviewed three Native American leaders, in August 2024.
On September 15, an Orange County Superior Court dismissed a lawsuit filed by the state against the city of Huntington Beach. The city’s voters passed a local ballot measure that authorizes the city council to pass an ordinance requiring voters to show photo ID to vote in city elections. The court indicated the lawsuit is premature, because the city council has not yet actually passed such a proposed rule.
The case is People of California v City of Huntington Beach, Orange County, 30-2024-1393606. Here is the ruling, which is very short. Thanks to Justin Levitt for the link. California’s Attorney General plans to appeal.
