Mich charges two right-wing operatives with felonies over voter suppression scheme“Two right-wing political operatives were charged Thursday with a series of felonies in connection with a robocall scheme that Mich attorney general said was part of a broad effort intended to intimidate minority voters from casting mail-in ballots.”
“The operatives, Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl, made automated calls to around 12,000 MI residents in August, warning them that their personal information from mail-in ballots could be used to execute outstanding arrest warrants or by credit card companies to collect unpaid debts, the authorities said.”
“Many of the residents who were targeted live in Detroit and other cities, said Dana Nessel, Mich’s attorney general.”
“The calls — believed to be among 85,000 made nationally by the operatives — also claimed that mail-in voting information could be used by the government to track people for mandatory vaccination programs, the attorney general’s office said.”
