Violation of Civil Rights Act in Elections
Introduction
Despite the assurance of minority voter’s rights by the
constitution and the fourteenth amendment, cases of rights
violation with regards to the voting process are still on the rise
in the US. Minority groups are often discriminated or blocked
from participating in the voting process both in ways that they
can discern and through cunning plans that can involve the
voting process. Some of the main reasons why minorities’
constitutional rights are violated include racial discrimination
by majority races, and to manipulate the outcome of the
elections so as to keep minority groups out of the political
leadership structure. The fourteenth amendment and the
constitution do not sufficiently safeguard the rights of minority
groups during elections because there are no serious

4. mechanisms of reinforcing their provisions.
Discrimination and Manipulation of Results
There are different ways through which minority groups are
blocked from participating or winning in elections through
discrimination. One of the ways is through diluting the votes of
the minority groups by the use of cunning voting systems such
as the at-large method. Another form of discrimination against
the minority groups is exercised through the application of
majority method of election instead of plurality (Maskin & Sen,
2016). The majority method requires that the leading
candidate’s vote should be more than the combination of the
votes of the other candidates in order to be declared the winner,
a fete that is quite difficult to achieve (Bol, Blais, Laslier, &
Macé, 2016). Plurality is the voting method in which the winner
gets more votes than the other candidates. There are trends in
which the majority voting system is applied in areas where
minority populations are more than the whites. The method is
used to cunningly force a runoff between candidates from
minority and those from minority races.
Another method through which the constitutional rights of
minority candidates are violated is the requirement to vie for
one of many similar positions combined with the majority
system to reduce the chances of winning for the candidate from
minority group. Further, discrimination is also done through
gerrymandering. This is the practice in which electoral
boundaries are revised or adjusted to influence the outcome of
an election process to favor some candidates on grounds of race
or class (Carson, 2018). During electioneering period,
gerrymandering is often done in minority neighborhoods to
influence the outcome of the elections by diluting the votes of
minority groups. On such occasions, minority groups go to the
polling stations to vote only to discover that they are not
registered voters in the neighborhood that they live in but are
registered in a different region so that they will not be able to
vote for their preferred candidates.
Blocking Minority Candidates from Vying

5. Despite assurances by the 14th Amendment that allows
individuals from minority groups to participate in the election
process by vying for political positions, there are many cases in
which minority groups are blocked from vying for political
position. For instance, the Lake Park Town, Palm Beach County
in Florida, there is an apparent violation of the Voting Rights
Act in that there is a voting system that works against minority
candidates. The system, known as at-large, which is used to
vote for commissioners, was found by the Department of Justice
to deny or prevent black voters an equitable chance to elect or
select representative candidates of their preference (Bagozzi &
Berliner, 2016). Despite blacks comprising of about 38% or the
total voting population, black candidates have never been
elected from the time that the town was founded in 1923. The
at-large voting system dilutes the votes of minority groups such
as blacks due to its highly racially polarized nature.
On some occasions, minority groups are blocked from
participating in political processes or vying for elective
positions as a result of their low proficiency in English. Some
scrupulous electoral officials often look for excuses that can
disqualify minority candidates so as to block them from
participating in elections. Minority candidates who are
American citizens but are not proficient in English are denied
the opportunity to vie for political positions (United States
Department of Justice, 2019). Education is another method
through which minority candidates are sometimes locked out of
the voting process. The minority groups who are not as highly
educated as their white counterparts but are qualified candidates
are sometimes denied the opportunity to vie on grounds that
they are not sufficiently educated thus lack the integrity to
assume leadership positions (USDJ, 2019). On some occasions,
right wing extremists openly threaten minority candidates of
dire consequences if they decide to vie for political positions
(Cole, 2017). Such candidates often back off for fear of their
lives even if it is their constitutional right to vie for political
positions. Although it is illegal to threaten a candidate not to

6. participate in political elections as candidates, no action is
taken against such right-wing extremists when they intimidate
candidates from minority groups in region dominated by white
populations.
Intimidation
Although there are many security measures that are put in
place by the federal and state governments to protect citizens
against malicious criminal attacks, there are many occasions in
which minority groups are threatened or intimidated. The
violent tactics are used by majority races such as whites to force
minority groups such as African-Americans to vote for a
particular candidate against their will (Desmond-Harris, 2014).
The intimidation takes place in the presence of security officials
who do not intervene to protect the civil rights of the people
from minority races whose civil rights are being violated. There
is a trend in which such intimidation, harassment, and threats,
occur mainly in regions where there is a big population of
minority groups. The harassment negatively impacts on the
confidence of populations from minority groups so that some
people may be discouraged to vote for fear of being harassed
during polling days.
The harassment of individuals from minority races is often
done tactfully by majority races to cover up for the civil rights
violation. For instance, some groups of people who claim to be
poll watchers, or some who actually are poll watchers from
majority races are excessively aggressive towards individuals
from minority groups. The poll watchers force minority groups
to vote for some candidates who may not be their favorite
candidates. As such, the election exercise in such situations
tends to favor some candidates not because they are popular but
because minority groups are harassed and forced to vote for
them. There is also another approach to intimidation in which
some organizations known as election-integrity groups carry out
match listing exercises amongst individuals from minority races
(Desmond-Harris, 2014). Such organizations access voter rolls
in collaboration with election officials and proceed to match the

7. names of the minority individuals in the voter rolls with other
lists containing names of individuals with negative reputation
such as ex-convicts, felons, or undocumented immigrants.
The matching exercise is usually malicious and mainly intended
to prevent as many individuals from minority groups from
voting as possible. This is because some of the people who are
labeled as felons and therefore should not vote are not actually
criminals. Besides, there is no law that is intended to prevent
people from voting on grounds of them having criminal records
or being ex-convicts. The matching exercise in most rampant in
locations where their minority and majority races are almost the
same in number, and the majority races usually aim at having an
advantage over the minority so that the candidate whom will be
selected would be from the majority race (Scott, 2018). The
self-appointed election monitors conduct research to obtain the
names of individuals from minority races. They then prepare a
list of the names with offences that can either be true or false,
and approach strangers from minority races and tell them that
they cannot vote on grounds that they have criminal records.
Although federal laws prohibit such behaviors, the scheme is
usually well organized, and the police do little or nothing at all
to prevent such activities from taking place.
Being Shut out of the Polls after Cuing
There are no federal or electoral laws that protect voters from
being locked out of the polls after waiting in the cues for long
hours. There are also no guidelines that control the length of
time that people should wait in line. After cuing for long hours,
individuals from minority groups are sometimes turned away
when the time that the voting exercise should stop reaches
(Desmond-Harris, 2014). The problem is that not everyone is
turned away when time is up. Individuals from majority groups
are normally allowed to vote while those from minority groups
are prevented from voting (Desmond-Harris, 2014). This habit
is common in white neighborhoods where their level of
discrimination against minority groups is high. The habit is
unconstitutional because as long as an individual is in the cue

8. before closing time gets, they should be allowed to vote rather
than be turned away. Further afield, there is a tendency in which
when documents of the minority groups are being evaluated,
polling officials are often overzealous in evaluating their
identifications. In some states without serious voter ID policies,
there are usually non-document requirements so that voters can
just sign affidavits and poll books or give personal data such as
birth dates and home address.
In states that there are no strict laws that require a voter to
provide an ID or passport, but to give their details such as home
address such as in California and Nevada, there is a tendency in
which voters from minority groups are blocked from voting by
being asked to produce IDs or passports. Those who do not have
are prevented from voting even after providing the basic
required details such as home address and personal details
(Desmond-Harris, 2014). Minority groups are sometimes
blocked from voting if their addresses on the voting rolls do not
match their current physical location when what is actually
needed is matching of their face and name with the details that
are contained in the voting system. This is discriminatory since
it is mostly done by racist poling agents who are ill bent on
preventing minority groups from voting for their favorite
candidates or is an attempt to lower and reduce their privileges
as inferior citizens who should not participate in the voting
exercise. The problem is difficult to solve because human rights
and transparency agents cannot intervene or interfere with the
voting process, and it is also a lengthy and tedious exercise for
such minority groups to file complaints due to the lengthy
formal processes required for investigations to be done. As a
result, victims of such injustices do not follow up or launch
complaints against unscrupulous poling officials.
Being Turned Away During Provisional Ballots
Although the constitution allows minority groups to participate
in the voting exercise, and to vie for political positions, there
are many instances in which minority groups are turned away
from polling stations thereby denying them the right to vote.

9. Specifically, the fourteenth amendment proclaims that the right
to cast the ballot should not be denied to US citizens on the
basis of race, gender, complexion, or previous status of an
individual as a servant or slave (USDJ, 2019). However, despite
this constitutional provision, minority groups are often turned
away when they get to the polling station especially in regions
dominated by whites. In states with strict election laws, people
who are not in a position to provide their identification cards or
passport usually use a provisional ballot. They are then required
to proceed to show up the next day in the electoral office with
the required identification materials for their votes to be
counted (Desmond-Harris, 2014). Additionally, many locals
were not able to cast their votes because of the power outages.
In states with less strict laws, people who wish to vote but do
not have an ID with them are required to sign an affidavit that
proves their identity, or their pictures and personal information
can be marched with what is in the records. Most minorities are
turned away or not provided with provisional ballots whenever
they do not carry their IDs or passport with them. This injustice
is usually perpetrated mostly by racist polling clerks who focus
on preventing minority groups from voting so that the lack of
identification is an excuse of denying such individuals the right
to vote. Although it is unconstitutional to deny a voter the
provisional ballot paper, individuals from minority groups such
as Hispanics and African-Americans who forget to carry their
IDs are often denied the provisional ballot papers and are turned
away from the voting process.
Bribery
According to the Law, it is wrong to influence people to vote in
a certain way or to boycott from participating in elections by
bribing them. It is also morally or ethically wrong to receive
money or other gifts in order to vote in a certain way. A
significant fraction of minority groups resides in neighborhoods
with low socioeconomic features. A big number of people from
minority groups are also of underprivileged socioeconomic
conditions and can barely make ends meet. Such groups of

10. minority individuals are vulnerable to bribes. Corrupt
individuals from majority groups have discovered this weakness
and often take advantage of the poverty to influence individuals
from poor minority neighborhoods to vote in a certain way
through bribery (Young, 2018). Due to high poverty rates and
unemployment, many people from minority groups are
manipulated to vote for candidates who are not of their choice
by being promised jobs or by being given handouts. As such,
their integrity is undermined so that bribery prevents them from
thinking and voting independently, which is a way through
which individuals from majority groups control the voting
decisions of individuals from minority communities (Conti,
Göncz & Real-Dato, 2018). In view of the above, the
fundamental rights not to be manipulated and freedom of choice
is indirectly infringed upon through bribery so that they end up
voting for candidates who are not actually of their choice but
the preference of the rich individuals from majority
communities.
Photo Elector Identification Legislation
In some states, apart from the normal requirements that voters
should provide their identification or passport in order to
participate in the voting exercise, there is a photo identification
process. In the process, voters are identified by a machine that
matches their appearance when they show up in the polling
stations with the images contained in the electoral commission’s
databases. The machines used and the process was found to be
maliciously intended to block individuals from minority groups
from participating in the polling process. For instance, the
Texas Senate Bill of 2011 that established the photo
identification of voters was found to have been adopted with the
malicious intention of preventing and abridging people’s right
to vote on grounds of their race, complexion, and language
minority (USDJ, 2019). The Department of Justice also found
that the photo identification process and the machines used have
blocked a substantial number of individuals from minority
groups from voting, which is a violation of the Voting Rights

11. Act, Section 2 that guarantees that all individuals have the right
to vote irrespective of their race or color (USDJ, 2019).
Although the actual mechanism through which malicious
individuals manipulate or use the machines to prevent
individuals from minority groups from voting, it is possible that
the photo identification machines are adjusted or tuned to
mismatch the pictures of the minority persons. It is also
possible that some pictures are removed from the database or an
individual’s details are mismatched. Consequently, they are
locked out of the voting process when the machines fail to
identify them with the details in the databases. Although not all
states use the photo identifier machines, there is a significant
number of states that use the system, and they are mainly
applied in neighborhoods with a medium to high fraction of
individuals from minority groups to intentionally block them
from voting. Some corrupt polling officials who have been
compromised by White supremacists are usually involved in the
malicious process. The intention is usually to influence or
control the outcome of the voting process.
Conclusion
Minority groups experience unfair treatment so that their
constitutional rights are often violated during electioneering
period. The voting rights can be violated either openly or
cunningly through manipulating the voting process. Minority
groups are mainly locked or prevented from voting or vying for
elective positions to prevent them from taking leadership roles,
and for reasons related to racial discrimination. In order to
protect the minority groups’ constitutional voting rights, it is
necessary to put measures that can ensure that the provisions of
the constitution are seriously adhered to.
