Speaker Mike Johnson has warned that "thousands" of illegal immigrants voting in US elections could sway control of the House majority and other elections, urging for measures to address the issue.
Amidst the ongoing debate surrounding election integrity, Speaker Mike Johnson has raised concerns about the potential impact of illegal immigrant voting on upcoming elections. During a press conference on Wednesday, Johnson suggested that such fraudulent activities could significantly influence the outcome of the House majority and other electoral races.

Meanwhile, California's Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a new regulatory framework for AI-generated election content. However, the legislation has faced legal challenges from a conservative poster known as @MrReaganUSA. The poster alleges that the ruling infringes on free speech and stifles satire, particularly for political commentators who rely on social media engagement for their livelihood.
The new laws aim to regulate campaign ads, communications, and social media content, including AI-generated parodies. However, certain provisions have drawn criticism for allegedly requiring extensive disclosure requirements and censorship mechanisms.

Theodore Frank, the attorney representing @MrReaganUSA, argues that the legislation will lead to excessive censorship by social media platforms, who will likely ban users rather than invest in robust content moderation infrastructure.
The lawsuit contends that the law's provisions are overly burdensome and undermine the comedic value of parodies. The attorney emphasizes the need for clarity in distinguishing between satire and deception.

In response, Newsom's spokesperson, Izzy Gardon, maintains that the disclosure requirement aims to prevent misleading information from circulating widely, especially during election periods. Gardon highlights the importance of expanding the law to address misinformation about election workers.
Newsom has previously voiced concerns about AI-generated satirical content, citing its potential to manipulate public perception.
As the debate over election integrity and content regulation continues, it remains to be seen how these issues will be addressed and resolved in the future.
