Summary
AI deepfakes are turning political warfare in Texas into a digital puppet show, with candidates swapping fabricated clips that could sway voters—like Ken Paxton’s fake dance video with John Cornyn, met with Cornyn’s own AI twist. While Texas banned deepfakes near elections, federal races remain unprotected. The real battle? Keeping voters sharp enough to spot the digital smoke—and stay skeptical of what they see on screen.
