AI Verified
The quote directly describes a ban on intentionally distributing materially deceptive AI-generated audio/visual political content about candidates, which matches the policy statement’s core proposal. Although it does not explicitly say "federal," it is clearly about the same prohibition as a whole.

Verified. The official American Bar Association page for the "2025 Report for the ABA Task Force for American Democracy," dated September 10, 2025, credits the piece to "ABA Task Force for American Democracy" and contains the exact quoted wording in a sentence about S. 1213: the report says the bill "would prohibit the intentional distribution of “materially deceptive” AI-generated audio or visual political content related to candidates running for office." The same wording also appears in the official report PDF. ([americanbar.org](https://www.americanbar.org/groups/public_interest/election_law/american-democracy/our-work/2025-report/))

AI Unverifiable
Year 2025 is acceptable. The quote is a descriptive passage from the ABA Task Force for American Democracy's 2025 final report describing the Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act (S.1213), which "would prohibit the intentional distribution of 'materially deceptive' AI-generated audio or visual political content related to candidates running for office." On its own the sentence is neutral/descriptive, so I checked the Task Force's actual stance: independent web search confirms the report explicitly SUPPORTS laws like the Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act (and disclosure laws like Wisconsin/Arizona). Therefore the vote "for" on statement 417 (Prohibiting deceptive AI-generated media of federal election candidates) correctly aligns with the Task Force's endorsement. The report was released Sept 10, 2025 (co-chaired by Jeh Johnson and J. Michael Luttig), matching the source. However, the source_url (americanbar.org) returns HTTP 403 Forbidden and blocks WebFetch, so I could not directly confirm the exact passage on the page. Marking ai_unverifiable per protocol for blocked sources, though the stance and vote alignment are corroborated.
