Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act is an administrative remedy that has not been fully enforced to protect the voting rights of minority citizens in those jurisdictions covered by the VRA. Failure to enforce Section 5 fully is the result of: (I) the structure of the Section 5 review process, (2) the poor quality of data received by the U.S. Department of Justice, and (3) the cursory analysis of data by the Equal Opportunity Specialists. What is needed to strengthen Section 5 enforcement is a strong presidential commitment to protect the interests of minority voters. Reform of the Section 5 review process can only take place if the president places voting rights enforcement high on his political agenda
