People who support Voter ID are being called racist. This working paper goes against that story line. Therefore, we will never here about this working paper in the mainstream media (e.g. New York Times). If the working paper had found otherwise, I am certain the results would have been broadcast far and wide.

So, it's entirely possible that it is racist to impose voter ID laws. At the very least we should acknowledge that voter ID laws from the 1890s to the 1950s were very definitely imposed on a racist basis.
