“Obviously this is FALSE and an effort to suppress the vote,” Nessel said. “No long lines and today is the last day to vote.”

Nessel also clarified in a tweet that law enforcement officers will not arrest voters at the polls for outstanding warrants.

The election day calls are not the first targeted misinformation calls to hit Michigan voters. 

The Michigan Department of State and the Attorney General’s office said in a press release on Aug. 27 that one Michigan resident received a robocall attempting to discourage them from voting by mail

The recording warns voters that voting by mail provides personal information to be viewed by police departments and credit card companies to track down old warrants and collect outstanding debt. The recording also claims that the Centers for Disease Control is attempting to use personal information from mail-in voting to track citizens for mandatory vaccines.

“Voting by mail, or any other method of casting your absentee ballot in Michigan, is a safe, secure and time-tested method of voting, and does not expose personal information any more than simply registering to vote,” the release said.

The caller claims to be calling from “Project 1599,” which the caller describes as a civil-rights organization founded by Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl.

Burkman and Wohl were each charged on Oct. 1 with one count of election law – intimidating voters, one count of conspiracy to commit an election law violation, one count of using a computer to commit the crime of election law – intimidating voters, and using a computer to commit the crime of conspiracy. “The Attorney General’s office alleges that Burkman and Wohl attempted to deter voters from participating in the upcoming general election by disseminating a robocall targeted at certain areas, including Detroit and other major U.S. cities with significant minority populations,” the Attorney General’s office said in an Oct. 28 press release. 

The two political operatives were also ordered by The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Oct. 28 to make corrective robocalls to anyone that received their earlier calls.
