NCAI Data Shows Native Americans Could Decide Election

The National Congress of American Indians national Native Vote campaign released data this week that confirms that Native American voters could influence the outcomes of the presidential and congressional elections in key states.

In Alaska, for instance, where there are 226 tribes, the Native voting age population is 81,762, or 19 percent of the total population. In Montana, home to seven tribes, the Native voting age population is 46,669, or 6 percent of the total population. In New Mexico, home to 22 tribes, Native voters number 140,401, or 11 percent of the total population.

"While political analysts have been focusing on the Hispanic vote in Florida, Arizona and New Mexico, the Native Vote continues to be overlooked as a secret weapon in this election," NCAI President Joe A. Garcia said in a press release.

The NCAI Native Vote initiative is mobilizing voters in 20 states, including Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, North Dakota and South Dakota.
