Ohio may pursue pair already charged in Michigan for voter intimidation in minority areas

Ohio authorities are considering whether charges are warranted against a pair of conservative extremists already accused of voter intimidation targeting minorities in Michigan.

A total of 8,050 robocalls were made and 3,449 answered on Ohioans' phones from the duo: Jack Burkman, 54, of Arlington, Virginia, and Jacob Wohl, 22, of Los Angeles, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said Tuesday.

After receiving a complaint about the automated calls from Cleveland Democratic Congresswoman Marcia Fudge and others, Yost investigated and referred the matter to Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O'Malley for possible criminal charges.

A spokesman for O'Malley said the office will review the case but it had not yet received the referral from Yost as of late Tuesday afternoon.

Secretary of State Frank LaRose referred similar complaints his office received to the FBI for possible violation of the Voting Rights Act, Yost said.

I don't know if i'm thinking of a different right winger but this was some years ago. I just remember him from Bill Maher's show in the 90s or early 2000s and then I remember some news story on him trying to go after underage girls.
