FOX 5 Atlanta’s article published January 31, 2024 directly attributes this statement to Georgia state Sen. John Albers. The article contains a longer version of the same sentence, and the user’s [...] omissions appear faithful: they remove intervening words such as “pictures, videos etc.” and additional phrasing before “changing the elections results,” without changing the attribution or core meaning.

Quote: "You cannot, as an outside group, influence an election [...] using someone's voice, their likeness [...] to create a false narrative [...] changing the elections results." — John Albers, Georgia State Senator, 2024.
Checks performed:
- WebFetch is blocked globally here (HTTP 403 all URLs), so corroborated via WebSearch. Confirmed: FOX 5 Atlanta (the cited source_url) and other outlets quote Sen. John Albers saying "You cannot, as an outside group, influence an election by using someone's voice, their likeness, pictures, videos etc. to create a false narrative in the goal of influencing and changing the elections results." The YouCongress quote is a faithful condensation with [...] ellipses.
- Author attribution: Correct — John Albers, Georgia State Senator, who introduced a bill making election deepfakes a felony (early 2024).
- Year: 2024, correct. Older but relevant; KEPT. No genuine sourced 2026 quote located to add; not fabricating.
- Source: fox5atlanta.com matches and contains the quote.
- Relevance: Highly relevant to "Criminalizing deepfakes and malicious use of AI in electoral campaigns."
- Vote alignment: Vote "for" correct — Albers authored legislation criminalizing election deepfakes, strongly supporting the statement.
