That official, Kathy Sullivan, headed up a super PAC that was running a write-in campaign for Biden, and residents who received the robocall warning them not to vote were directed to her number for more information.<\/p>\n<p>The agency also<a href=\"https:\/\/www.doj.nh.gov\/news\/2024\/documents\/05232024-lingo-robocall-nal.pdf\"> proposed<\/a> a $2 million fine for Lingo Telecom, the telecommunications carrier that distributed the calls and signed them with an \u201cA-level\u201d attestation that was meant to signal to downstream providers in the call path that Lingo had a direct, authenticated relationship with the customer and that they had the right to use the telephone number.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will act swiftly and decisively to ensure that bad actors cannot use U.S. telecommunications networks to facilitate the misuse of generative AI technology to interfere with elections, defraud consumers, or compromise sensitive data,\u201d said Loyaan A.
