Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman Ordered to Pay $1.25 Million for Voter Suppression Robocalls

The settlement addresses a scheme that targeted Black voters in New York during the 2020 election, aiming to discourage them from voting by mail.

Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, known for spreading conspiracy theories, have agreed to pay up to $1.25 million in a settlement with the New York Attorney General's office.
The robocalls falsely claimed that mail-in voting would lead to personal information being used by police and debt collectors.
This legal action is part of broader efforts to combat voter suppression and protect the integrity of elections.
The settlement also requires Wohl and Burkman to engage in voter registration efforts as part of their punishment.
Additional charges and fines have been levied against the pair in other states, reflecting the national scope of their activities.
