Verified. The official Chris Coons Senate press release dated September 15, 2023 contains this exact sentence verbatim in a longer quoted statement and explicitly attributes it to Coons with 'said Senator Coons.' The stated year, 2023, matches the page date. ([coons.senate.gov](https://www.coons.senate.gov/news/press-releases/senator-coons-colleagues-introduce-bipartisan-legislation-to-ban-use-of-materially-deceptive-ai-generated-content-in-elections))

Quote attributed to Senator Chris Coons (2023) from his Senate press release on the bipartisan "Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act." source_url (coons.senate.gov) returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but an independent web search returned the verbatim quote ("American democracy faces novel threats from deceptive content generated by artificial intelligence, and we must take action to defend our system of free and fair elections") attributed to Coons, corroborated by parallel press releases from co-sponsors (klobuchar.senate.gov, hawley.senate.gov, collins.senate.gov), all dated September 2023. Source URL is the primary source (Coons' own release). Year 2023 is correct. The "for" vote correctly aligns with the statement on criminalizing/banning deceptive AI in elections — Coons co-sponsored exactly this legislation.
