Your question is much too broad - narrow your question and I will try to answer.  They cannot have casinos, there are Indian child Welfare Act issues, there are treaty issues, etc.

If Amnesty Is Granted, That Will Create A MAJORITY Vote In Certain Areas - The State Of Caifornia Is A Prime Example\nFor This Question\nGranting"AMNESTY" And "CITIZENSHIP" Upon These Invaders To Our Nation Is Creating An UNSTOPPABLE Voting Bloc Which Will  Prevent Our Ability To Choose Our Elected Officials\nCitizenship Gives An Individual The RIGHT To VOTE\nIf A State Has A MAJORITY It Can Elect To SECEDE From The Nation\nIf Enough States SECEDE From The Nation, \nWe Will Have NO NATION \n\n-- Antonio Villaraigosa \nMayor- Los Angeles, California-"ELECTED" by the VOTES of ILLEGAL ALIENS - Villaraigosa has spent a lifetime opposing U.S. immigration laws - Villaraigosa Proclaimed, and I Quote \n"This bill in Congress is wrong. The only thing illegal is making 11 million illegal aliens felons." \nYeah!!! He Actually said that. \nPeople should make No Mistake about it -Villaraigosa's Allegiance is to Mexico, NOT California or These United States of America. - http://www.discoverthenetwork.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1281\nSenor Villaraigosa is A Member Of  "MEChA"  and  " LA RAZA"\n\n -- Mario Obledo \nMexican American Legal Defense Fund Founder - \nFormer California Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Gov. Jerry Brown - \nAwarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bill Clinton - \nIs Quoted \n “California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn't like it should leave. Every constitutional office in California is going to be held by Hispanics in the next 20 years.  People who don't like such demographic changes “should go back to Europe.” http://www.discoverthenetwork.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1173\nSenor Obledo Is A Member Of "MEChA" And "LA RAZA\n\n A leading Aztlan group is the Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan, known by its Spanish acronym MEChA. \n\nLike many other Hispanic groups,MEChA came out of the "Brown Power" movement of the late '60s. Its founding motto was, \n"For those in the race, everything. For those outside the race, nothing." \n\nCloser to the mainstream is the Aztlan movement, \nwhich claims Aztec and Spanish ancestry and wants only the western half of the U.S. for \n"LA RAZA  de Bronze." (The Brown Race)\n\nMEChA and the LA RAZA movement teach that Colorado, California, Arizona, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Oregon and parts of Washington State make up an area known as "AZTLAN" -- A fictional ancestral homeland of the Aztecs before Europeans arrived in North America. \nAs such, it belongs to the followers of MEChA. These are all areas America should surrender to "La Raza" once enough immigrants, legal or illegal, enter to claim a majority, as in Los Angeles. The current borders of the United States will  be extinguished.\n\nThe Council of LA RAZA succeeded in having itself added to congressional hearings by Republican House and Senate leaders. And an anonymous senator even gave the Council of La Raza an extra $4 million in earmarked taxpayer money, (supposedly for "housing reform,") while La Raza continues to lobby the Senate for virtual open borders and AMNESTY for ILLEGAL ALIENS \nhttp://www.humaneventsonline.com/article.php?id=13863\n\nPosing as a student group, MEChA tends to be dominated by immigrants' children and descendants,  not immigrants themselves. - But the views of most Mexicans aren't far away from MEChA's. \nThe major players in the Hispanic lobby deny any racist motives.\n\n -- Angel Gutierrez, \nProfessor, University of Texas, Arlington- \nFounder of the La Raza Unida political party - \n"We have an aging white America.

if you are refering to 'indian reservation' as the place where the native indian community resides, that's for the American Indians in the USA, not India.

The poll worker doesn't ask for nationality. The voter does have to be registered and registered in the precinct they are attempting to vote in. Any US citizen over 18 can register to vote as long as their rights have not been rescinded due to a felony conviction. I don't think that non US citizens can vote. I also don't think that there is such a thing as a undocumented resident being legal unless they are a citizen, and most of us have some form of documentation.

They can vote, although they need to register, and demonstrate they have been in the jurisdiction for the right amount of time.  There are many practical difficulties, but in theory they are allowed to.\n\n(They would not have been able to when the country was founded -- only white male property owners were allowed to when the US was founded.  Something to think about when asking what would the founding fathers have done about a given issue.)

depends on the state or local laws.  for presidential elections, it still epends on the state laws.  sometimes people are on the ballot in one state but not the other.

The demand for the inclusion of the "none of the above" option in India is yet to evolve into a voting choice that can have wide-reaching implications on adult suffrage. The demand is premised on the question: Can the right to vote mean the right not to choose any of the candidates and yet be counted?\n\n The Conduct of Elections Rules, 1961, does provide for situations where a person decides not to vote. Rule 49-O states that if a person decides not to record his vote, then the presiding officer shall make a remark to that effect against his name in the register of voters and obtain the latter's signature or thumb impression against such remark. But most presiding officers are unaware of this rule.\n\nMoreover, the rule flagrantly violates the principle of secret ballot, the contravention of which is an offence punishable with three months imprisonment by Section 128 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951.

Unfortunately, because of the way the Electoral College works, Puerto Ricans, who are US citizens, do not have the right to participate in the election of the President of the United States if they reside in Puerto Rico.  The Constitution specifies that only states (and DC) can participate in the presidential election by choosing "electors" who are part of the Electoral College.\n\nA number of people from Puerto Rico have tried to sue the US Government to force it to recognize the right of the American citizens to participate in the presidential election.  These efforts have ultimately been unsuccessful.\n\nHowever, in 2000 there was a glimmer of hope for the American citizens who reside in Puerto Rico.  The US District Court for the District of Puerto Rico issued judgement on August stating that Puerto Rico had the right to participate in the Electoral College, as long as the state legislature approved a method.  The state legislature approved a law for the election of presidential electors from Puerto Rico, to be held together with the general election on November 7, 2000.\nThe ballots were printed (with Bush & Gore's names and pictures), and mailed out to absentee voters.  Unfortunately, just before the election, the US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit reversed the judgement of the District Court, and the state Supreme Court invalidated the local law.  Therefore, the American residents of Puerto Rico could not participate in the 2000 presidential election.\n\nA few (around 100 absentee voters) people actually cast their presidential ballots, but we will never know how they voted.

Yes. You can just vote for part of the ballot.

Yes. You could use the 'territory' rules that other places use, where the number of Representatives and/or Senators from DC (and maybe Puerto Rico) is smaller, because it isn't a state. But, it's hard to imagine a really good reason why the people of the Capital of the United States of America don't get to vote.

The Amish have the right to register and vote if they choose, as they are American's.....but....I believe that their culture prevents them from voting.

Being a Native American I say yes 100%. The only problem is that the government willnever allow this to happen. One time the supreme court ruled that President Jackson could not take over some Indian territory. The president told the supreme court to uphold the diecision with their own troops and since they of course have no control like that were not able to do much when the President took over the land and slaugtered the tribes.

the natives should vote on that, they should get conseptation for their slauthered ancestors, and land that was rightfully theirs

If you are eligible to vote and do not vote, then no, you should not complain. But, if you could not vote because of your age or legal status  then I suppose you can, if and only if you participate in civic affairs.\nI personaly feel that it is not enough to just vote, but to actually get your voice heard through civic participation.

Why in the world would you want to?  Most reservations are pretty much ghettoes.\n\nDifferent tribes have different rules about what constitutes American Indian.  The Cherokee Nation, for example, allows you to join if you can document that you are at least 1/16 Cherokee.  (I am 1/8, but I have not joined.)
