Rightwing Fraudsters Jacob Wohl, and Jack Burkman Sentenced To Register Black Voters In Poor DC Neighborhoods

[skews13]

Last we heard from right-wing huckster racists Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, they were pleading guilty to 14 counts of fraud in an Ohio courtroom for their parts in orchestrating and carrying out a racist, voter-suppressing robocalling plan in Black communities in Michigan, New York, and Ohio. The calls were made in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election and were an illegal (and racist) attempt at keeping likely Democratic voters of color from voting in the upcoming election by spreading misinformation about voter registration.

On Tuesday, Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge John Sutula placed Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman on two years probation and ordered the men to wear GPS ankle monitors, with a home confinement curfew for the first six months of their probation set at 8 PM. They were also fined $2,500 each, plus court costs and fees. While this punishment seems relatively small for two men best known for relentlessly trying to defraud people, Judge Sutula did have a kicker: Both men must “spend 500 hours registering voters in low-income neighborhoods in the Washington, D.C., area.”

While they’re in DC, they can go by Arlington National Cemetary, and see all of the troops that died for the people in those neighborhoods right to vote.
