According to the tribes election ordinance, candidates can be deemed ineligible if they owe the tribe money, do not meet residence requirements, have a felony conviction, were dishonorably discharged from the military or do not meet a blood quantum requirement. -I like this part, there are candidate/s on the official list with felonies, but when I brought this up to the election board & the tribal staff Attny giving them details the Attny raised his voice to me stating that candidate could run according to the new tribal ordinance they just got done working on. Even though I argued it was a contradiction to the election ordinance where it clearly states that you cannot run if you are a felon. I was asked to leave that office and considered arguing for asking questions such as this. Talk about unprofessional, I told them that too and that it was abusive to treat people in such a manner to say what they want and then to ignore the persons discussion that is really totally appropriate or related to that office. nativetimes/index.php/news/tribal/10400-candidates-deemed-ineligible-in-nd-tribal-election
