Two conservative political operatives, Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, have been ordered to pay up to $1.25 million in fines for orchestrating a robocall campaign aimed at suppressing the Black vote in New York during the 2020 US election. The campaign involved "transmitting false and threatening messages intended to discourage voting" by Black New Yorkers by falsely claiming that voter information would be shared with government agencies and debt collectors. New York Attorney General Letitia James announced the settlement, which was reached after the operatives were found liable in March 2023 for their actions.
