Quote: "to prohibit the distribution of unpaid \"materially deceptive\" AI-generative audio or visuals concerning federal candidates is counterproductive." attributed to Americans for Prosperity (year 2023). The source_url is on americansforprosperity.org, whose entire domain returns HTTP 403 to WebFetch, so the exact quote text could not be confirmed against the primary source. Web searches confirmed AFP did submit Senate Rules Committee testimony (authors James Czerniawski and Scott Blackburn) opposing S.2770/S.3875/S.3897, arguing the "materially deceptive" standard would "significantly chill core political speech" — consistent in spirit with this quote and with the recorded vote "against" the statement "Prohibiting deceptive AI-generated media of federal election candidates." However, the exact quoted sentence was not returned verbatim by search, and the source page cannot be fetched. The quote year (2023) is older than 2025/2026; I searched for a recent (2025/2026) AFP quote on this topic to replace it but the most recent AFP material found is from May 2024, with no 2025/2026 statement located, so no replacement was created. Marking ai_unverifiable because the blocking source prevents positive confirmation of the exact text.
