RFK Jr railed against 'racially rancid' voter ID laws in resurfaced writings, interviews
Fox News
Independent White House hopeful Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. railed against voter ID laws in resurfaced writings and interviews done ahead of the 2008 presidential election.
One of his past writings – a comic book co-authored with investigative journalist Greg Palast and sponsored by numerous liberal and left-wing organizations – specifically claimed voter ID requirements were discriminatory against Black people.

"One out of every ten Americans don’t have a government-issued ID because they don’t travel abroad, so they don’t have passports, and they don’t drive a car[,] so they don’t have drivers['] licenses. The number rises to one in five when you’re dealing with the African American community. And, indeed, for those people to get a government-issued ID – it’s an obstacle," Kennedy wrote on page 16 of the comic.
