The majority of field hands don’t vote, either because they don’t have legal residency where they’re working or they don’t have access to voting infrastructure due to their ghettoization or they don’t have citizenship under current naturalization laws.
The folks who vote are the exurban land-owners and their administrative staff. They’re regularly organized within religious institutions to instill certain socio-economic ideology, they are promoted based on their fealty to the local land barons, and they benefit from the disenfranchisement of their landless field hands which gives them a strong incentive to defend the anti-democratic status quo.
