A candidate to become president of the Navajo Nation has been disqualified from the ballot because he is not fluent in Navajo, the Associated Press' Felicia Fonseca reports. Chris Deschene is asking the Navajo Nation Council to pass legislation to make voters the sole decision-makers on whether a presidential candidate is fluent in the language.
The nation's Supreme Court dismissed Deschene's appeal for not including a copy of his disqualification order with his appeal, the AP further reports.
