AND COSMIC JUSTICE!
The robocalls targets black zip codes in cities with large black populations, with a black voice actress reading the following script:
Hi, this is Tamika Taylor from Project 1599, the 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 debts? The CDC is even pushing to use records for mail-in voting to track people for mandatory vaccines. Don't be finessed into giving your private information to the man, stay safe and beware of vote by mail.
The robocalls violated several calls because they targeted cell phones and went up against anti-KKK laws. And the people behind them got nailed bigly.
But here's the best part. As a part of their supervised community service - they "...were ordered to work 500 hours of community service." The ordered community service consisted of registering voters in minority and low-income communities, the FCC said."
Oh, the irony! And the glee!
