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 3,449 robocalls were 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.

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. The duo were charged Oct. 1 by the Michigan attorney general with four crimes: Voter intimidation; conspiracy to intimidate voters; and counts of using a computer in both schemes.

1. Don't think about it, do it.

And if they are found guilty in both Michigan and Ohio and wherever else, let the sentences run consecutively if possible.

2. Throw the book at these assholes!

3. At the very least all this should keep these two turds occupied for awhile

and out of criminal mischief for awhile.

4. Young Jacob will be going to jail. Good.

5. LOCK THEM UP!

6. I want to see a new Voting Rights Act and legislation to once and for all criminalize ratf*cking

with sentencing guidelines in the 40-120 month range. As with white-collar sentencing the sentence should be increased along with the money stolen, so the penalty should increase along with the severity and the number of disenfranchised. Tampering with voting systems or vote tallies (election fraud) should carry sentences of 120-240 months.

7. I don't even see how these two thugs have gotten away with their antics thus far. It's

time to get serious and truly protect the voting rights of all Americans, these two certainly don't have our best interests at heart, they want to steal or suppress our votes.
