Robocalls claimed mail-in voting is used to track down warrants,
collect unpaid debt.

By Jon Brodkin

The Federal Communications Commission yesterday proposed a $5.1
million fine against two right-wing political operatives accused of
making over 1,100 illegal robocalls. The calls were an attempt to
convince people not to vote.

The recorded messages sent before the November 2020 election "told
potential voters that if they voted by mail, their '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 FCC said. Those
messages were apparently targeted at Black voters and told them,
"don't be finessed into giving your private information to the man."
