Voting on reservations across the country has historically been exceedingly difficult, with tribal voters sometimes having to travel long distances to their polling place or facing barriers because they don't have a physical address

Nevada has a plan to expand electronic voting. That concerns election security experts

    This is a really odd take. I mean if voting is inconvenient on the reservations then why not mail-in voting? The reservations take up a very small portion of the land so administration should be relatively low cost. You’ll spend way more money trying to secure an online voting system (and of course they’re just going to cut corners).

      Yes, but it’s much easier to claim ‘rigged’ after the fact when done electronically. Mail-in ballots are harder to push back on. This isn’t about voting, it’s about covertly excluding votes from certain groups of people. They just can’t say that part yet out loud.
