研究人员仍然对少数民族权利在直接民主选举中的表现存在分歧。作者通过回顾以前的研究和概述在直接民主的背景下评估少数群体权利的更系统的标准来进入这场辩论。在应用这些标准时，对涉及男女同性恋公民权利的直接民主竞赛的分析表明，少数群体更有可能在这些竞赛中失败。作者认为，以前的研究人员的结论可能为时过早，他们的标准应该适用于其他少数群体。
Researchers continue to disagree over how minority rights fare in direct democracy elections. The authors enter this debate by reviewing previous research and outlining more systematic criteria for assessing minority rights in the context of direct democracy. In applying these criteria, an analysis of direct democracy contests involving gay and lesbian civil rights suggests that minorities are more likely to lose in these contests. The authors suggest that the conclusions of previous researchers may have been premature and that their criteria should be applied to other minority groups.
