December 1, 2025
Two conservative political operatives have been sentenced to probation a scheme to discourage Black Detroit voters from voting by mail in the 2020 presidential election. Monday’s sentencing was the last court hearing for Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman in a multistate effort to blast thousands of robocalls. Wohl and Burkman were accused of creating robocalls that warned people they could be hounded by police, debt collectors and vaccine bureaucrats if they voted by mail. They pleaded no contest to a raft of crimes after unsuccessfully challenging the charges on free speech grounds.
