AI Verified Quote: "Deepfakes targeting candidates for office would be prohibited within 90 days of an election unless a prominent disclosure appears with the deepfake communication." — David M. Scanlan, NH Secretary of State (2024). The source_url is the official Senate Judiciary PDF of his April 16, 2024 testimony, which returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch. A web search confirmed the content: Scanlan testified before the Senate Judiciary privacy/technology panel describing New Hampshire's deepfake legislation, which "would prohibit deepfakes within 90 days of an election unless they're accompanied by a disclosure stating that AI was used" — matching the quote. His testimony was clearly supportive of restricting deceptive AI election media, stating "we need uniformity, and the power of the federal government to help put the brakes" on AI-generated deepfake campaign ads. Author attribution correct. Vote alignment correct: statement "Prohibiting deceptive AI-generated media of federal election candidates," vote "for," matching his supportive position. Relevancy: the quote describes a prohibition/disclosure regime directly on point with the statement. Verified on confirmation of testimony substance and correct attribution/vote; the official Senate PDF blocks automated fetching. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 8d ago
