Violators of the Enforcement Act of 1870 were typically identified through investigations and reports by federal officials, local authorities, and citizens who reported instances of voter intimidation or discrimination, particularly against African Americans. The Act aimed to protect the voting rights of citizens and imposed penalties on those who interfered with these rights. Enforcement was carried out by federal marshals and troops, who could intervene in instances of violence or intimidation at polling places. Ultimately, the legal process involved prosecution in federal courts to address violations.

President Ulysses S. Grant supported the Enforcement Acts of 1870 and 1871 to combat the rising violence and intimidation against African Americans in the South, particularly from groups like the Ku Klux Klan.
