Consultant on trial for AI-generated robocalls mimicking Biden says he has no regrets

  • Stephen Kramer, a political consultant, was acquitted on June 13, 2025, of charges for sending AI-generated robocalls mimicking Joe Biden to New Hampshire voters during the 2024 primary.
  • He faced felony voter suppression and impersonation charges after using AI calls on January 23, 2024, that told voters to skip the primary and save their votes for November, amid disputes over the primary's official status.
  • Kramer admitted paying $150 to produce the Biden-like voice and said the calls aimed to warn about AI risks and exploit New Hampshire's media attention before the primary.
  • Prosecutors claimed the calls undermined the fairness of the primary election, while Kramer’s defense highlighted that the New Hampshire primary was not officially endorsed by the Democratic National Committee, arguing that the calls therefore did not impact a formal election.
  • Kramer could have faced decades in prison and a $6 million FCC fine, but his acquittal highlights challenges in regulating AI misuse in elections and ongoing commitment to election law enforcement.
