\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nBy Marc Elias \u00b7 Democracy Docket founder\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n I questioned the government chatbot about Trump\u2019s attacks on voting. Here\u2019s what it said. \n\u00a0\nDonald Trump has launched an AI chatbot. Under the guidance of the U.S. General Services Administration, the new \u201csuper intelligence\u201d \u2014 as Trump prefers to call it \u2014 is taking questions on everything from booking campsites at national parks to getting a new Social Security card.\n\u00a0\n\u201cHello, America,\u201d the website welcomes you. \u201cWhatever you need from government, start here.\u201d\n\u00a0\nI have a few questions for Trump\u2019s federal government \u2014 so I decided to play along.\n\u00a0\nYesterday afternoon, I made my way over to America.gov and spent some time prompting the AI chatbot about Trump\u2019s attacks on elections and democracy.\n\u00a0\nThe AI surprised me by being more truthful than any actual person working for Trump.\n\u00a0\nHere are just a few of the questions I asked \u2014 and how the chatbot answered.\n\u00a0\nWho won the 2020 election? \n\u00a0\nThe question that no Trump nominee is allowed to answer honestly \u2014 yet the government\u2019s AI chatbot is able to speak the truth. When I asked America.gov who won the election, the answer was simple and straightforward: Joseph R. Biden Jr. won the 2020 U.S. presidential election.\n\u00a0\nHe wasn\u2019t just \u201ccertified as the president,\u201d as Trump nominees are trained to say. Joe Biden won \u2014 plain and simple.\n\u00a0\nThis is not a hard or complicated question, and that is why the AI chatbot did not give me a complicated answer. It\u2019s only a matter of time before Trump realizes that America.gov isn\u2019t following his orders. We will see if he is able to rewrite the truth.\n\u00a0\nAre armed federal agents permitted to be at polling places? \n\u00a0\nTrump\u2019s chatbot knows the law better than the president. When I asked this question, America.gov responded that \u201cfederal law generally bars keeping troops or armed men at a place where a general or special election is being held.\u201d The chatbot correctly states that penalties can include a fine or imprisonment.\n\u00a0\nIf Trump\u2019s chatbot knows that sending troops to the polls is against the law, why doesn\u2019t Trump?\n\u00a0\nThe Democratic Party is currently suing the Trump administration over its threats to send armed troops to the polls \u2014 a lawsuit my law firm filed. To the chatbot, this is a straightforward issue. I believe a judge will see it that way, too.\n\u00a0\nIf America.gov doesn\u2019t stand by Trump\u2019s claims that he can send agents to the polls, who will?\n\u00a0\nIs there evidence of widespread voter fraud in the U.S. elections? \n\u00a0\nDonald Trump and his followers cite widespread voter fraud as their excuse for eroding voting rights.\n\u00a0\nFrom noncitizen voting to flawed election machines, the conspiracies are endless and rampant \u2014 and they fuel Trump to break the law. For example, when Trump\u2019s anti-mail voting executive order demanded that the United States Postal Service only send absentee ballots to voters on official state lists, it was under the guise that mail voting made our elections less secure.\n\u00a0\nThis is not true \u2014 and America.gov agrees. When I asked about fraud in our elections, the AI chatbot said, \u201cOfficial sources document individual election-crime cases. They do not document fraud at a scale that changed a national election result.\u201d\n\u00a0\nElection fraud is exceedingly rare. When it does happen, it is often a simple mistake by the voter \u2014 not someone with nefarious intentions to change the election results. And it certainly doesn\u2019t happen enough to change the outcome.\n\u00a0\nTrump\u2019s AI chatbot lives in reality. Trump lives in conspiracies.\n\u00a0\nDoes the president have authority over the conduct of federal elections? \n\u00a0\nDonald Trump wants to claim that he has the power to run our federal elections. He does not \u2014 and his AI knows it. While Trump is trying to overreach his authority to control voting and counting ballots, when I asked America.gov who had the authority over our elections, the answer was clear: \u201cThe Constitution does not give the president the power to set the rules for federal elections.\u201d That job belongs to the states. The president\u2019s only role is to enforce the existing law.\n\u00a0\nAnd when it comes to counting ballots, the states are not the agents of the federal government. The states have authority over their elections.\n\u00a0\nTrump will try to rewrite the law. He will try to convince you that the law says something it does not. He will ignore the law to assert authorities and powers he does not have. And when he does that, ask the chatbot run by his own government. As of right now, it will tell you the truth the president doesn\u2019t want you to know.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n We\u2019re grateful for your support at the highest level.
