Question

Read the scenario.

It is Election Day. Group X appears at the polls, but each member of that group is turned away and not allowed to vote. Group Z appears as well; group Z’s members are allowed to vote as long as they brought a utility bill validating their address.

What has happened to each group?

Group X has had its voting rights abridged; group Z has had its rights denied.
Group X has had its voting rights abridged; group Z has had its rights ignored.
Group X has had its voting rights ignored; group Z has had its rights denied.
Group X has had its voting rights denied; group Z has had its rights abridged.

Answer 1

The correct answer is Group X has had its voting rights denied; group Z has had its rights abridged.

When a person is prevented from voting, it means that their right to vote was denied. This was the case with Group X.

On the other hand, Group Z's right to vote was abridged. This is due to the fact that they had to present their utility bill as a means of verification. Without the utility bill, members of Group Z could not vote.
