Trump's team is more focused so far on building a sprawling network of "#ElectionIntegrity" #lawyers & #PollWatchers than on rounding up organizers & door knockers to reach voters.
It's a sign that 5 months before Election Day, the legal battle is underway —& that Trump PLANS to cry "rigged" if he loses, as it did after the #2020election & his #felony#convictions.

Yes for them the “process” (of announcing unfounded lawsuits and investigations) is more important than the “outcome”
(the tardy announcements that all their accusations are 💩).
Republicans need to stop peddling Putin's lies.

The Congresswoman from Texas is sick of treasonous Republicans pushing Putin disinformation and propaganda to undermine our democracy and the rule of law.
She submits evidence Republican Nazis attacked the capitol on January 6th and sentence to prison.
The federal #government is facing a dwindling window to #regulate the use of #ArtificialIntelligence in campaigns before the #2024election. The #FCC chair announced a plan last month to require #politicians to disclose #AI use in TV & radio #ads. But the prop is facing opposition from a #FEC top ofcl, which has been considering its own new rules on AI campaign use.
@Nonilex The FTC is in there as well - I don't know how WaPo missed that?. (Perhaps they filed it in their /dev/null storage with the Alito's flag story?)
We may see action first from the states of the US and EU, much as the GDPR and California privacy laws, have created pressures (not yet addressed by the Fed gov't) in the US.
But for this election, our ever-rearword, looking CYA legislatures and executives, have pushed us to the edge and I fear we are going to be overwhelmed by AI generated, often personally targeted gunk using the hordes of personal data gathered by companies like Google, Facebook, Axciom, etc - in other words AI super-spear-phishing information tailored to each individual person.
