Ohio may pursue pair already charged in Michigan for voter intimidation in minority areas
Ohio authorities are considering whether charges are warranted against a pair of conservative extremists already accused of voter intimidation targeting minorities in Michigan.
A total of 8,050 robocalls were made and 3,449 answered on Ohioans' phones from the duo: Jack Burkman, 54, of Arlington, Virginia, and Jacob Wohl, 22, of Los Angeles, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said Tuesday.
After receiving a complaint about the automated calls from Cleveland Democratic Congresswoman Marcia Fudge and others, Yost investigated and referred the matter to Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O'Malley for possible criminal charges.
A spokesman for O'Malley said the office will review the case but it had not yet received the referral from Yost as of late Tuesday afternoon.
