Bans false election information and intimidation to protect voters in federal elections.
This bill would make it illegal to spread false information about voting or to intimidate voters in federal elections. It would also create new ways for people and election officials to sue those who break these rules. The Attorney General would also step in to correct false information if local officials don't.
Today, laws prohibit general intimidation and paying people to vote, but don't specifically target false information or the use of AI to spread it. There's also no federal requirement for the Attorney General to correct false election information. After this bill, it would be illegal to spread false voting information, especially using AI, with the intent to stop people from voting, within 60 days of a federal election. Individuals and election officials could sue, and the Attorney General would be required to correct false information and report on deceptive practices.
