Call me paranoid...but it's shit like this that makes me think that vote integrity is just another word for keeping your opposition away from the polls by legal means.

Just based on that statement, and what I understand of the subject (not much
), aren't American Indian tribes considered in some way "seperate" nations (although still citizens)?
If that is the case, it seems to me that IDs issued by anyone other then the state are the ones not allowed, and those would be included. Just like they probably wouldn't allow someone with a Wisconsin-issued ID.
