In June 2025, a Belknap County Superior Court jury found political operative Steven Kramer not guilty of voter suppression and impersonation charges tied to AI‑generated robocalls that mimicked President Biden’s voice and urged New Hampshire voters to skip the primary. Kramer had previously admitted creating the calls and faced a $6 million FCC fine and a $1 million fine for Lingo Telecom. The acquittal follows his earlier admission that the calls were intended as a warning about AI risks.
Political consultant Steven Kramer fined for AI-generated Biden robocalls in New Hampshire
In January 2024, political consultant Steven Kramer orchestrated AI-generated robocalls that mimicked President Joe Biden’s voice to warn New Hampshire voters that voting in the Jan. 23 primary would bar them from the November election. The Federal Communications Commission proposed a $6 million fine against Kramer and a $2 million fine against telecom provider Lingo Telecom for transmitting the calls. Kramer faces multiple felony and misdemeanor charges, and the FCC announced new rules banning AI‑generated voice calls.
