Voters in key battleground states are reportedly receiving text messages from a Democrat PAC telling them they don’t need to vote because they already have.
The texts were sent in states including Pennsylvania, Arizona and Georgia.
As well as providing misleading information about individuals’ voting status, the messages provided inaccurate information about locations of polling centers and dropboxes.
An investigation revealed that the text messages came from AllVote, an anti-Trump PAC funded by huge Democrat donor and billionaire Reid Hoffman.
New Mexico’s Secretary of State has called for federal authorities to investigate and “crack down” on the scheme.
Hoffman has a history of attempts at voter suppression. As the Post Millennial reports, he funded a tech firm that used online accounts to discourage conservative voters from voting during Alabama’s special Senate election. Hoffman denied all knowledge of the organization’s activities.
According to the Washington Free Beacon, “AllVote is part of a complex network of nonprofits and super PACs” overseen by a former Obama administration official called Yoni Landau.
Landau “directs the operation from his firm, Movement Labs, which uses ‘technology and experimentation to stop fascism and build progressive power.’ Landau has said his firm ‘has a lot more flexibility’ than mainstream Democratic groups ‘to try new things and see what works.’
“‘If the DNC or a state party tries something new and gets it wrong, there can be real negative consequences for the career of the person who made the decision,” Landau said in 2022.”
Another group run by Landau and funded by Hoffman is Rapid Resist Action, which has also engaged in voter suppression. In 2022, Landau was forced to apologize when it was revealed the organization had sent voters in New Jersey, Kansas and North Carolina inaccurate information about dropbox locations.
Landau apologized again this year when another of his organizations, VoteWin, was caught distributing false information about voter registration.
