Republican operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman are charged with intimidating voters with robocalls that falsely warned of 'arrest, debt collection or forced vaccination' if they vote by mail

Two conservative operatives were charged Thursday with felonies in connection to robocalls that aimed to dissuade residents in Detroit and other US cities from voting by mail, Michigan's attorney general announced. Jacob Wohl, 22, and Jack Burkman, 54, each face four felony counts in Detroit, including conspiring to intimidate voters in violation of election law and using a computer to commit crimes, Attorney General Dana Nessel said. The calls falsely warned thousands of residents in Detroit and urban areas in at least four other states – New York, California, Pennsylvania and Ohio - that voting by mail in the November 3 election could subject people to arrest, debt collection and forced vaccination. In total, at least 85,000 calls were believed to have been made across the nation.  The men, who have a history of staging hoaxes and spreading false smears against prominent Democrats and government officials, are not in custody and no date for their arraignments has been set.

How Covid-19 infection rates DOUBLED in most local lockdown areas: Experts blame 'complex and confusing' rules for difficulties stamping out regional outbreaks as one in THREE people in England now faces tougher rules

One in three Britons will be living under tougher Covid-19 rules than the rest of the country tomorrow, despite data showing local lockdowns don't work in most places and that infection rates have actually risen. From Saturday, two million residents in Liverpool, Warrington, Hartlepool and Middlesbrough will be banned from meeting people they don't live with indoors in a bid to curtail outbreaks there. It will mean a total of 22.4million Brits will be living under some form of economically crippling and socially restricting local shutdown. Ministers have justified the measures by claiming they are the only way to stop a second national wave of the disease. But data shows Covid-19 infections have doubled in the majority of areas in England that have been subject to long-term restrictions. In 11 out of 16 English cities and towns hit with lockdowns in the last nine weeks, the infection rate has risen at least two-fold and in some cases by more than 10 times. In Bolton, Britain
