2024 Election: Controversial AI Cameras Set for Live Streaming Voting Activities

2024 Election and AI Surveillance at Voting Dropboxes

The stage is set for the 2024 election, and a contentious new initiative is emerging regarding voting surveillance. Election denial group True the Vote, under the leadership of Catherine Engelbrecht, is proposing the use of AI cameras to livestream activities at ballot dropboxes. Aiming to create a 'dropbox surveillance reality show', the initiative has raised eyebrows among local election officials concerned about potential voter intimidation.

Concerns Over Voter Intimidation

Despite a lack of evidence backing their claims, Engelbrecht and her team have reframed voting dropboxes as hotspots for potential conspiracy theories about election fraud. Relevant local officials fear that constant surveillance could disrupt the 2024 election process and create an atmosphere of intimidation for legitimate voters.

True the Vote's Controversial Background

• True the Vote has a history of promoting unsubstantiated claims regarding election integrity.
• The group was involved in the production of the debunked film '2000 Mules', which offered no credible evidence.
• In their newsletter, Engelbrecht emphasized the use of tested AI technologies but provided little clarity regarding the technology's functionality.

Challenges in Implementing the Initiative

As the 2024 election looms, Engelbrecht's strategy hinges on the cooperation of local sheriffs, which has proven elusive. Many sheriffs have publicly stated their unwillingness to partake in such initiatives, emphasizing legal uncertainties surrounding the oversight of dropboxes.

A Look Ahead

With the momentum generated by True the Vote's initiative, the landscape of the 2024 election is becoming increasingly fraught with challenges. Engaging local law enforcement could become even more tenuous as the election approaches.
