(St. Paul, MN) -- Some Minnesota lawmakers are considering adding penalties to a new state law that bans deepfake video and audio in political campaigns.
The original legislation calls for up to five years in prison and a ten thousand dollar fine.
The new proposal adds a conviction of disseminated deepfakes that can disqualify candidates from holding various positions.
The bill would also call for someone already in office to lose their position.
