A pro-Harris PAC led by radical trans activist Charlotte Clymer has been caught running voter suppression scams targeting voters in multiple battleground states.
Over the weekend, thousands of voters Pennsylvania received text messages from Clymer’s organization AllVote falsely stating that they had already voted, or that they were not registered to vote.
“Records show you voted,” one message read. AllVote directed the voter to an official website with information about polling places and early voting in the state.
Clymer told CNN it was all a big mistake, claiming the messages should have told voters they had cast their ballots in 2022 and directed them to a link with information about voting in 2024.” However, the messages left out “in 2022,” leading voters to believe they already voted in 2024.
The trans activist said the errant texts were an “unfortunate copy-editing error by staff working long hours,” and the organization has made its “approval process substantially more rigorous to ensure this doesn’t happen again.”
Clymer, whose previous name was Charles, is a “Women for Kamala” surrogate, independent journalist Andy Ngo reported on X.
The Harris campaign held a Zoom “Women for Kamala” fundraiser event featuring Charlotte Clymer, who appeared in a heavily filtered image.
Clymer was previously known as Charles Clymer, a male feminist activist who was kicked out of the movement after being accused of being abusive to women. Since then, he rebranded himself into a self-identified woman named Charlotte who advocates for abortion.
Ngo, who is gay, reported that Clymer targeted him in 2019 after he was viciously attacked by antifa while covering a protest.
While Ngo was in hospital recovering from a brain hemorrhage, Clymer suggested in social media posts that he deserved to be assaulted by Antifa.
Clymer was working for the LGBTQ+ advocacy group HRC at the time.
Officials from the swing states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Carolina and Arizona have flagged other cases of election-related disinformation disseminated by the group.
“Voters should be more cautious as we get closer to the November 5th Election, as other bad actors may attempt to send similar phishing emails/texts,” the Pennsylvania Department of State warned over the summer after voters in Northampton County received messages from AllVote claiming there was an issue with their voter registration status.
According to its website, AllVote, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, works to “mobilize progressive voters,” by providing information on how to vote. Clymer denied that the group engages in phishing, telling CNN that “it doesn’t collect data or send out links that solicit personal information.”
In another misleading message campaign, AllVote sent thousands of Wisconsin voters text messages that included a link to the wrong election website, leading to complaints to the state’s election commission.
The Wisconsin Election Commission reviewed text messages from AllVote that provided a link to “what at first appeared to be the voter’s municipal website but was incorrect,” the commission said. Meagan Wolfe, the commission administrator, said groups like AllVote often attempt to represent themselves as an official source of election information, and “voters should be very careful when dealing with this type of unsolicited outreach, as the information being put forth is often inaccurate and misleading.”
Clymer told CNN last week that only about 15,000 Wisconsin voters received the misleading texts out of 750,000 voters they allegedly contacted.
“We take every step to ensure we don’t send voters incorrect information,” Clymer said, adding that “we never represent ourselves as election officials.”
Clymer refuses to provide information to the media regarding AllVote’s funding, claiming the group fears “being targeted by the far-right.”
