What was in the letter? Was it truthful or someones version of the truth?
I think this is about the case that Sessions, as Alabama Attorney General, was asked to wrap up that involved forged absentee ballots. In that case, several black defendants admitted to altering the votes on absentee ballots, and were found out when a black victim found out that their ballot vote for a family member was changed to a vote for the opponent.
Typically, Sessions was accused of blocking access to the ballot for African-Americans, when it was black-on-black voter fraud that he was trying to prosecute.
Regarding the Kennedy letter, consider that everything that Kennedy did was hyper-partisan to the nth power.
