Don't know why that would be a "great law"--beyond excluding a targeted demographic in one state. And you agree this is an
example of making it more difficult for a rural demographic, Sioux in this case, to vote, right? 

I lived in Crow Agency, MT, during my HS years. It was capitol of the Crow Reservation, with
about 5-600 people. We did not have street addresses, and we didn't need P.O. boxs. A letter addressed to
"Dill, Crow Agency MT, would get to me just fine. Many people who lived up and down the Little Big Horn River with no streets
had addresses, for sure, but they were P.O. addresses. 

The question is, why should people be REQUIRED to have a STREET address with a number, which is what the ND law required.
They are still citizens with a right to vote, whether they have addresses or not. And in ND the people doing the requiring are the
same one's who scream "DICTATORSHIP" at the first hint of a mask mandate. 

The GOPers generally respond that a street address, on voter ids, would guarantee "election integrity."

But is there really a problem here, worth the millions spent? In Minneapolis, MN, the cost of supplying all voters of Hennepin County with a government issued ID was about 12 million dollars--though voter fraud had never been a problem there. 

There was occasional, minor voting fraud during the 2016 election, as two or three Trump voters nation wide voted for him twice. 
Whereas 35 LEGAL VOTERS were turned away from ONE location in ND, following the passage of the aforementioned law--more 
than double all voter fraud nationwide during the 2012 and 2016 elections.

But Trump claimed he'd have won the popular vote, but for the 3-5 million illegals who voted for Hillary, and
MAGA world accepted the Dear Leader's claims without question, driving the push for voter IDs, nevermind that 
GOP governors and Lt. governors could find no fraud in the 38 states they controlled.  

Election fraud is the far greater threat--e.g., Trump's Green Bay Sweep--as are changes to voting laws and locations intended to disadvantage demographics believed to vote Dem, like limiting drop boxes for ballots to ONE PER COUNTY in Texas.

Given this history, the real question is why so many people have become so disconnected from any evidentiary base, that they can be stoked (often willingly) to fear non problems and simultaneously coached to doubt and dispute real ones.
