Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act of 2025
This bill prohibits the intentional dissemination of false information about voting procedures, election timing, or voter eligibility that is designed to prevent people from voting. It specifically makes it illegal to spread misleading information through any communication method, including via generative artificial intelligence, within 60 days of an election. The bill creates criminal penalties for such deceptive acts (up to one year in prison) and allows civil lawsuits for victims. The Attorney General would have authority to issue corrective information when false statements are spreading, and would be required to report on deceptive practices to Congress after each election.
