The lawsuit aims to combat election misinformation and protect voter rights by targeting those behind deceptive robocalls.

  • The League of Women Voters has filed a lawsuit against Steve Kramer and two Texas companies, Lingo Telecom and Life Corporation, for sending robocalls mimicking President Joe Biden's voice to New Hampshire voters.
  • The lawsuit seeks to prevent the use of AI-generated voices for future political robocalls and asks for fines and a ban on distributing such calls without permission.
  • The robocalls, sent before the New Hampshire presidential primary, falsely suggested that voting in the primary would preclude voters from casting ballots in November.
  • The lawsuit cites violations of the Voting Rights Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, and New Hampshire state laws.
  • The case highlights concerns about the use of sophisticated AI tools in elections and the potential for misinformation.
