Navajo polling place changes sparking tribal election dispute
A plan to shift polling sites in 29 Navajo communities for the November tribal election draws criticism from Navajo officials. The push, backed by the Zah campaign and urged by the Vlassis Ott law firm, faces potential legal challenges and possible late approval by the Advisory Committee and Tribal Council amid concerns about voter confusion and conflicts with state polling rules.

Relocation board reveals high sale rate of Navajo houses
Phoenix dispatch reports nearly one third of homes bought by the federal government for Navajo families in off-reservation relocations have been sold. Navajo leaders blame financial problems and community adjustment issues, noting 31 percent of 252 homes in Arizona and New Mexico are no longer owned. Flagstaff shows the highest turnover with 5 of 131 homes sold. The figures accompany Sen. DeConcini's push to halt relocations tied to the Navajo Hopi dispute.
