Conspiracy theorist Jacob Wohl tried to trick Black New Yorkers out of voting, judge rules
I love the fact that Wohl was found to violate the KKK Act. TFG is being sued under the KKK Act.

Conspiracy theorist and far right activist Jacob Wohl violated the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) Act when he and an associate tried to trick Black voters in New York out of voting, a federal judge ruled Wednesday.
Mr Wohl was accused over his role in an operation in which robocalls were sent to thousands of mainly non-white voters before the 2020 election falsely warning them that their personal information would be added to a public database and used by police departments and credit card companies.....
US District Judge Victor Marrero wrote in his ruling that it was clear Mr Wohl and his associate Jack Burkman wanted to “deny the right to vote specifically to Black voters.”
