But it is probably like here with 911 database. We don't what to change our address, we have had it for over 100 years.

But to not have an address so that an ambulance can get to you is crazy. It maybe that the tribal people have never wanted to buy the 911 database and be hooked up.

But to sacrifice the ability to vote because you don't have an address is stupid.. You don't have to be on a mail route. You can have an address and still have mail delivered to General Delivery or a P.O. Box.
