AI can be useful for finding election information, but you should always check its sources.
@nicdunnutah recommends asking the chatbot to provide the links it used so you can verify the information for yourself.
How much control should Washington have over the way Americans vote?
Chris McIsaac of @RSI joins Defending Ideas to discuss Utah’s vote-by-mail system and the growing push for more federal involvement in elections.
McIsaac says most decisions should remain with states and local officials, with some federal help if needed.
Confused by a down-ballot race or ballot question? AI could help you understand what the candidates believe, what ballot measures mean, and what you're actually deciding.
But @RSI's Chris McIsaac says you gotta check the chatbot's answers against reliable sources.

More voters are turning to AI to learn about the candidates. Bu can you really trust a chatbot?
Chris McIsaac of @RSI joins Defending Ideas to discuss how, and how much AI actually influences elections.
McIsaac and @nicdunnutah examine deepfakes, First Amendment concerns, and how AI could actually help voters become MORE informed (as long as they check their sources).
How do states make sure elections are secure while making it easy for eligible voters to cast their ballots?
In this interview from Defending Ideas, @nicdunnutah talks with Chris McIsaac of @RSI about how states verify citizenship, and why back-end checks can strengthen voter rolls.
The conversation also explores AI and deepfakes in elections, how better training for law enforcement could improve safety and security at the polls, and R Street’s state election policy scorecard that evaluates all 50 states.
NEW: @ReasonFdn's @JudeSchwalbach looked at every state's public school open enrollment laws.
Read Sutherland's research on this topic in the report.
In @judeschwalbach's study of every state's open enrollment laws, Arkansas, Arizona, Idaho, Oklahoma, Utah, and West Virginia earn A grades; seven states earn Bs; two states get Cs; two receive Ds; and 33 states earn F grades.

Which states have the strongest election policies? And what can they teach us about how elections should really be run?
@RSI's Chris McIsaac joins @nicdunnutah on Defending Ideas to discuss a new 50-state election scorecard, ranking states on policies including voter registration & verification.
McIsaac and Dunn also cover hot button topics like AI-generated deepfakes, election misinformation, and why it's better for states to run elections instead of the feds.
