Two right-wing conspiracy theorists who placed thousands of robocalls with false information to largely minority and Democratic voters in Cleveland in the months before the November 2020 election pleaded guilty on Monday to a felony charge.
The calls featured a woman warning voters against being “finessed into giving your private information to the man” and that if they voted by mail, police and debt-collection agencies would use their personal information to arrest them for outstanding warrants or collect outstanding debts, according to court filings. The call also claimed the U.S. Centers for Disease Control could use their information to institute a mandatory vaccination program.
Sutula last month denied a motion filed by the men’s attorneys asking Sutula to find the robocalls were protected by the First Amendment and to throw out the charges.
