b)emboldened… denied

<p>Their votes didn’t count, so the citizens filed a lawsuit.</p>
<p>To garner is to collect. The citizens didn’t collect their discontent; they expressed or registered it (e.g., “his face registered/expressed embarrassment”). </p>
<p>To feel compromised is to feel diminished, which in idea fits, but “compromised” does not fit as well as “disenfranchised,” which has to do with being deprived of the right to vote (or, more generally, deprived of power).</p>
