“If Americans thought the 2016 and 2020 elections were messy, just wait until Mr. Artificial Intelligence shows up for the 2026 midterms with his own election disruptions in hand. If you are an election official, an election integrity advocate, or even a candidate, you should start creating an anti-AI election disinformation plan – yesterday. Protecting elections has historically meant securing ballot boxes, counting rooms, and voting machines. In 2026, that will still matter, but will no longer be enough. The greatest threat now to confidence in elections may not be whether votes are counted accurately, but whether voters believe anything they see, hear, or read about the process.” (01/22/26)
