I see huge boosts across the board, I wonder if some of these states passed laws expanding early and absentee voting?

SNIP
Indigenous high schoolers are organizing to let their families vote in an election they argue is designed to block them from the polls.

SNIP
Native American leaders promise that their renewed energy for political engagement will last far beyond Tuesday, citing overwhelming efforts by the community's youth to get out the vote.

"This is far from the election of a candidate; it's more of an empowerment of the people," says O.J. Semans, the co-director of Four Directions, a Native American voting rights group. "I see it continuing and nothing but good happening from it hereafter."

SNIP
In northern North Dakota's Turtle Mountain, Native American students are set to walk out of class and march to polling places with signs encouraging community members to vote.

"They're taking it upon themselves to become involved," Semans says, adding that the youth has engaged in "trickle-up" activism
, inspiring their elders of voting age to travel what can be great distances and overcome technical obstacles posed by the state to vote.

"That encourages us knowing the fact that we have future generations stepping up to ensure that we, the Native Americans are going to have people like Barb (Semans' partner and fellow organizer) and I generation after generation after generation.
Regardless of what they try, our future generations will know how to stand up to it."
