Judge says #JacobWohl, #JackBurkman violated #VotingRightsAct, #KKKAct with 2020 voter suppression

In a 111-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero said Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman used thousands of robocalls in #Ohio, #Michigan, #NewYork, #Pennsylvania and #Illinois to spread false and misleading information about mail-in voting in a "calculated" effort to "deter Black voters by exploiting fears and stereotypes."

Court Rules Right-Wing Conspiracy Theorists Illegally Intimidated Voters in 2020

"On Wednesday, March 8, a federal judge ruled that a robocall operation led by two conspiracy theorists ahead of the 2020 election violated Section 11(b) of the Voting Rights Act (VRA), the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1870, the Civil Rights Act and New York civil rights laws. In October 2020, the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation and several voters filed a lawsuit against Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl (who both pled guilty to telecommunications fraud in Ohio and are facing felony charges in Michigan as of November 2022), Burkman’s lobbying firm and Project 1599 (a right-wing political organization founded by Burkman and Wohl)."
