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.
