	The Civil Rights Cases
		The Civil Rights Cases, 109 U.S. These cases are all founded on the first and second sections of the act of congress known as the ‘Civil Rights Act,’ passed March 1, 1875, entitled ‘An act to protect all citizens in their civil and legal rights.’ 18 St. 335.
		It applies equally to cases arising in states which have the justest laws respecting the personal rights of citizens, and whose authorities are ever ready to enforce such laws as to those which arise in states that may have violated the prohibition of the amendment.
		The difficulty has been to compel a recognition of their legal right to take that rank, and to secure the enjoyment of privileges belonging, under the law, to them as a component part of the people for whose welfare and happiness government is ordained.

	Jones Testimony before Civil Rights Commission
		In extreme cases, if an agreement cannot be reached, it may even make sense to require that the disputed ballots be examined in court by a jury composed of eligible voters after appropriate instruction by a judge.
		It is possible, however, that the civil rights arguments that form the basis of the recent Supreme Court decision about the November election may lead directly to a Federal role in enforcing such rules.
		The official canvass should include counts not only of the number of votes for each candidate, but also counts of the disputed votes where one member of a vote counting team held that the vote was for one candidate while the opposing member held that the vote should be excluded for one reason or another.
