MINORITY POLITICAL PARTICIPATION IN THE NEW MILLENNIUM: THE NEW DEMOGRAPHICS AND THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT WALTER C. FARRELL, JR.* & JAMES H. JOHNSON, JR.** During the thirty-six years since the passage of the Voting Rights Act, ethnic minority participation in the political arena has increased dramatically. The purpose of this Article is to examine three criticalchallenges that have emerged, and are emerging, as a result of the actual and projected increase of America's ethnic minority groups (principally African Americans, Hispanics, Asians and Pacific Islanders, and, to a lesser extent, Native Americans). These challenges are: (1) tensions between ethnic minority groups as they vie for political power, (2) the establishment of majority-minority congressionaldistricts, and (3) factors/initiatives that serve to reduce voter participation among ethnic minority groups, with a focus on the 2000 presidential election.
