A person may not, with the intent to influence an election, knowingly cause to be published, distributed, or broadcast political advertising that includes an image, audio recording, or video recording of an officeholder’s or candidate’s appearance, speech, or conduct that did not occur in reality

With so many fraudulent ads from both parties, but especially the fascist GOP, influencing people to vote against not just their own interests but also their own OPINIONS, that actually sounds like a GREAT law. IF implemented faithfully and fairly.

Fat chance of THAT happening in Texas of all places, though.. 😮‍💨
