Today, the League of Women Voters of New Hampshire, the League of Women Voters of the United States, and individual New Hampshire voters filed a federal lawsuit against Steve Kramer, Lingo Telecom, LLC, and Life Corporation for voter intimidation, coercion, and deception ahead of the 2024 New Hampshire presidential primary. The defendants used illegal AI-generated robocalls to discourage voters from participating in the primary. The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire, seeks to order the defendants to cease engaging in illegal, dishonest, and deceptive tactics nationwide.
Two days before the New Hampshire presidential primary, the defendants sent robocalls to New Hampshire voters with a “deepfake” simulated voice of President Joe Biden to discourage them from participating in that primary. The New Hampshire robocalls urged recipients not to vote in the primary and to “save” their vote for the November 2024 US Presidential Election.
