The same Justice Department that jailed pro-Trump memesmiths for “election misinformation” is now nowhere to be found after left-wing groups sent false election information to voters in countless battleground states.
In late October, voters in Pennsylvania (many of whom had not yet cast their ballots) were told, “According to our records, you have voted. Find out where you can vote early with on-demand mail-in voting.”(Related: Stream Daily Caller’s original documentary “RIGGED: Death Of The American Voter”)
Immediately after that, I received another email that said, “We sent the last email by mistake and we apologize for the inconvenience.” If you haven’t voted yet, find out where you can vote early with on-demand mail-in voting. ”
Both messages were signed with “-AllVote”
AllVote insisted it had no intention to mislead voters, but others, such as meme author Douglas McKee, have been sentenced to prison for “election interference” in similar cases.
AllVote spokesperson Charlotte (nee Charles) Clymer, a left-wing transgender activist, said the message was false.
“We regret this mistake and the confusion it has caused.” the climber said In a statement.
AllVote spokesperson said While the Washington Free Beacon sent the text messages only to progressive voters, the Daily Caller confirmed that multiple registered Republicans and unaffiliated and unaffiliated voters in Pennsylvania and North Carolina received the text messages.
Although the Justice Department has not filed charges or issued a statement regarding AllVote, at least one state official has raised red flags. New Mexico government officials said The documents are “something the federal government really needs to look at and police.”
The caller contacted the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York and the Illinois Attorney General’s Office, but had not received a response as of press time. The Justice Department declined to comment.
None of the attorneys general in the battleground states where voters received the documents have commented publicly. Voters in Arizona, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Wisconsin all received similar texts from AllVote. According to On CNN.
Caller has reached out to the Secretary of State but has not heard back as of press time.
Their silence stands in stark contrast to the federal government’s efforts to punish Mackey.

McKee was convicted of “election interference” and was declared Last year, he was sentenced to seven months in prison. McKee posted a fake ad under the account “Ricky Vaughn” instructing Hillary supporters to vote by text.
The Justice Department “has gone to great lengths and spent millions of dollars” to find people who were unable to vote because of the McKee meme, said James Lawrence, a partner at Envisage Law who represented McKee. he told The Caller.
The Justice Department’s efforts “extended to subpoenaing phone companies, obtaining phone numbers that sent text messages to those numbers in 2016, and visiting the homes of people who underwent follow-up interviews,” Lawrence said. he said.
“First of all, this is just a joke,” McKee told the caller. “So, folks, I think my audience will find this funny. It’s also provocative in the sense that the other side or journalists might be offended and taken the wrong way.”
McKee’s post included a photo of a black woman standing in front of an “African American Supporting Hillary” sign. The image included the text “Avoid the line.” Vote from Home,” “Text “Hillary” to 59925,” “Vote for Hillary and Be a Part of History.”
He then tweeted an ad in Spanish that featured an image of a woman typing on a cell phone, according to the Justice Department. It included the Clinton campaign logo and the slogan “#ImWithHer.” (Related: Anti-Hillary election ‘meme’ case could prompt further government censorship, legal experts warn)
According to opening statements, McKee told the caller that he obtained the images from 4chan and testified that he did not believe anyone would be fooled by them.
Although McKee is acting alone in the prosecution, it appears he is not the only one to suggest people can vote by phone.
On November 8, 2016, left-wing influencer Christina Wong posted a video with President Trump’s sign in the background and posted the following message:

Wong was not charged and her posts remain online. Jimmy Kimmel recently made a similar joke, advising Trump supporters to “vote late,” and many focused on the political nature of McKee’s accusations.
Charles Clymer texted thousands of real voters.
Jimmy Kimmel told his jokes to an audience of millions.

The Biden administration sent Douglas McKee to prison for making this very joke. If Trump wins, I’m seriously saying Jimmy Kimmel should be arrested and jailed. Force these guys to live by their own rules. https://t.co/SMHtwwBlAQ

What’s striking to me is that Jimmy Kimmel has clearly never heard of Douglas McKee or what the Department of Justice did to him. He was totally unaware because the mainstream media never reported on it.
Kimmel probably doesn’t realize it yet and will wake up without the Justice Department’s interference. https://t.co/EqXmXmqKOj

AllVote claims their sentences were coincidental, but Mr. McKee argues that if the prosecution made every effort to prove his intent, the same standard should apply to AllVote’s case. He claimed that there was.
“Noting that the Department of Justice has subpoenaed all of my bank accounts, all of my financial records, my employment history, my rent history, and all of my direct messages to see if I had any criminal intent. I’m going to leave you there,” McKee told the caller.
“So this guy, Charles Clymer, said it was just an innocent mistake. ‘I made a typo’ or whatever. Well, by the same standard, the Department of Justice will subpoena all his emails, all communications, all super PACs, all records and internal communications to determine whether he had criminal intent when he posted the meme. you need to check. It’s justice, right? ”
AllVote has been accused of having Democratic Party funding. The group appears to be doing everything possible to hide its funding, but a Free Beacon investigation uncovered their funding. Legal disclaimer The event was organized by Rapid Resist Action, an organization founded in 2017 by former Obama administration official Yoni Landau.
According to the Free Beacon, Rapid Resist Action counts among its donors Democratic billionaire Reid Hoffman, who in 2022 plans to raise funds through his nonprofit American Future Republic. He reportedly donated $484,000. (Stream the Daily Caller’s rigged documentary here)
“Evidence shows AllVote is tied to a group called Rapid Resist Action, whose largest donor is Democratic megadonor Reid Hoffman,” said Parker of the Capital Research Center. Thayer told the Caller. “Any group supported by Mr. Hoffman, who is notorious for funding left-wing political malfeasance and dirty tricks, should not be questioned regarding allegations of voter suppression and misinformation.”

AllVote text messaging is truly a top-notch service. ”
While federal law enforcement has not targeted AllVote, the Biden-Harris administration’s Justice Department has weaponized KKK-era laws to target Mackey.
According to the Department of Justice, McKee was charged under the Conspiracy Against Rights Act. The law is a Reconstruction-era law aimed at protecting the voting rights of recently enfranchised black voters, The Daily Caller previously reported. reported.
Under the Biden-Harris administration, it has been used as a weapon against pro-life activists, former President Trump, and now Douglas Mackey. (Related: Biden-Harris Justice Department weaponizes century-old anti-KKK law against conservatives)

According to court documents, Mr. McKee’s lawyers argued that the law does not criminalize “political misinformation,” pointing out that it is an entirely new method of prosecution. Lawrence agreed, stressing that until McKee’s case, the law had never been used to prosecute people for “pure speech.” (Related: Exclusive: Justice Department data confirms conservatives’ fears that Biden will weaponize the justice system)

“he said [the FBI]There’s no grand conspiracy,” McKee said. “It was just a shitty post. He said he was just trying to cause chaos that would panic the media and Democrats. They kept interviewing him and using his arm to testify at my trial. Twisted, practically twisted, he said exactly what they wanted him to say.”
“The Department of Justice is breathing new life into a nearly 150-year-old law to prosecute Douglas McKee and calling it our democracy,” Lawrence told the Caller.
