- mythrwy 10y agoIt is unlawful for a person to knowingly and willingly make, publish or circulate on an Internet Web site, or cause to be made, published, or circulated in any writing posted on an Internet Web site, a false or deceptive statement designed to influence the vote on either of the following: (a) Any issue submitted to voters at an election. (b) Any candidate for election to public office. Great, if this passes (which there isn't a chance in hell of) we'll have grounds to lock up every politician I've ever seen. (Including those claiming not to be politicians). Many reporters and newspaper publishers as well.
