SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 30 – A Michigan campaign
of robo-calls to discourage
voting by mail has arrived
before U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Victor Marrero, who
held a proceeding on October
30 which Inner City Press
covered.
The
plaintiffs said the robo-calls
had been "for the purpose of
intimidating them, or
attempting to intimidate them,
from voting by
mail."
Judge Marrero
ordered a series of counter-
or corrective-robocalls. On
the morning of October 30
there was discussion of the
language of the counter-calls,
if particular names of
defendants had to be included.
But
by the end of October 30, only
29,000 of the original 85,000
recipients of the robocalls
can gotten the corrective.
Judge Marrero asked for an
update by October 31 at 3 pm.
The case is National Coalition
on Black Civic Participation
et al v. Wohl et al,
20-cv-8668 (Marrero)
