Don’t “give your private information to the man, stay safe and beware of vote by mail” the messages ridiculously advised. Then the state AGs and other got involved–suing Burkman and Wohl and also the platform used to send the messages. These clever would-be vote suppressors have been ordered to perform 500 hours of community service–helping to register people to vote. I will note that this penalty is only a piece of the pain these folks are suffering–the case in New York is still pending, as is (to my knowledge) the FCC forfeiture proceeding. Maybe I’ll have him on the podcast and he can explain what he was thinking….
