CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A judge on Tuesday ordered Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, two right-wing conspiracy theorists behind robocalls that sought to intimidate Black voters here out of casting mail-in ballots in the 2020 presidential election, to spend 500 hours registering voters in low-income neighborhoods in the Washington, D.C., area.
Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge John Sutula placed each on two years of probation, fined each $2,500 and ordered them to wear GPS ankle monitors with home confinement beginning at 8 p.m. each day for the first six months of their probation.
Sutula, 71, said that most of the civil rights advances in the United States have occurred in his lifetime. He compared the mens effort to those who used violence to suppress southern Black voters in the 1960s.
I think its a despicable thing that you guys have done, he said.

(1 post)2. Kudos to this judge
for both the sentence and the verbal dressing down.
Hopefully one or both will stick with these vermin, but unfortunately my hopes aren't set very high.
