Who's complaining? Let's keep going back.http://www.pbs.org/indiancountry/challenges/voting.html
Would you please cite your reference for the American Indian, Native American rather, having the right to vote for their own freedom? In the most respectful and orderly way. Sir!

Native Americans were not recognized as American citizens until 1924 when they recieved the right to vote along with citizenship. The GOP controlled the House, the Senate, and the White House. They passed the bill and Coolidge signed it. It was called the Snyder Act.
In Virginia in 1921, there was a state official, a democrat, who worked to destroy all records of Indians and black people by combining them until one title. This worked to cheat Native Americans out of tribal lands as they were now "colored people" and not Indians.
In 1919 the democrats filibustered giving women the right to vote but the GOP passed the constitutional amendment where it evenually ended up being ratified by a majority of the states.
In 1964, the Civil Rights Act passed with a greater percentage of GOP votes than democrat votes. The democrats controlled the Senate and the House but so many democrats opposed the Act that it never would have passed without the GOP votes. This according to LBJ himself while thanking Senator Everett Dirkenson (R) of Illinois.
