Michigan Authorities Investigating ‘Unconscionable’ Robocalls Attributed to Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl

Michigan authorities are investigating a robocall that is targeting voters in Detroit by providing false information about mail-in voting.

The audio of the phone call in question:

This is [unintelligible] 1699, a civil rights organization founded by Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl. Mail-in voting sounds great. But did you know that if you vote by mail, your personal information will be part of a public database that will be used by police departments to track down old warrants, and be used by credit card companies to collect outstanding debt? The CDC is even pushing to give preference for mail in voting to track people for mandatory vaccines Don’t be [unintelligible] into giving your private information to the man. Stay safe, and beware of vote by mail.

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D) addressed the misinformation campaign on Thursday by noting that she had received a copy of the recording. Benson also asked for citizens to report additional instances of “similar false” information.

For the last several years Skype has become the choice of bill collectors and con-artists because it is hard to track it
If you sign up for unlimited calling in an area (U.S/Canada, the World, etc) you can make hundreds of calls without spending another dime

As long as they're only calling republicans I'm all for it. Phoning just one Democrat would piss me off to no end though. Is this another one of his ridiculous conspiracy theories? Probably. He's nuttier than squirrel shit.
