Not enough punishment.

Wohl and Burkman have previously faced penalties for running similar schemes elsewhere during the 2020 election. In 2022, an Ohio judge ordered the two men to spend 500 hours registering low- and middle-income voters in the Washington, DC, area after authorities in Ohio accused them of running a voter suppression campaign in multiple states.

And in 2021, the Federal Communications Commission proposed a record $5 million fine against them after an investigation found they appeared to have violated US robocalling laws.

Other criminal charges against Wohl and Burkman are pending in Michigan.

And so they keep doing it again and again. They need the book thrown at them. They should be in jail.

I really have no idea how these two idiots aren't in prison already. I mean, there's the voter intimidation schemes and that time they fabricated allegations that Robert Mueller raped someone. And this is on top of Wohl committing securities fraud in 2015. The fact that they're still breathing free air is astounding.

NY AG sells justice out for $1 million

Can't we drop them in the ocean instead? 1 million is nothing in this scenario.

Jail time would be something approaching justice.

And being barred from such activities and political office / government employment for the rest of their lives.

A pittance. They should be jailed and stripped of their holdings like any traitor or terrorist would.

Coach ,

$1 mil to influence an election? Sounds like money well spent.
