Abstract

Marrero wrote that Burkman and Wohl's activities violated a host of federal statutes - the Voting Rights Act, the Civil Rights Act, and the Ku Klux Klan Act - along with New York civil rights laws. (Bloomberg) -- Two conservative activists violated federal and state civil rights laws with a robocalling scheme designed to suppress Black voter turnout in 2020, a judge ruled Wednesday in a lawsuit brought by a coalition of Black civic groups and the New York Attorney General's office. Marrero wrote that the robocalls were "intimidating, threatening, or coercive towards voters, especially Black voters" and that Burkman and Wohl's argument that they were merely expressing political opinion was "disingenuous.".
