We’ve all witnessed campaign ads on both sides of the aisle that blatantly lie to the American people. There are currently no legal consequences for these political ads that intricately weave a web of misinformation. This not only breeds divisiveness in our already fragile nation, but it also hinders the American people's access to accurate information needed to discern the candidates who genuinely represent our values.

According to a report by the Brennan Center for Justice, deceptive political advertisements result in an ill-informed public and increases polarization, negatively impacting the democratic process. In an age where falsehoods can be spread in seconds, the volume and impact of misinformation in political ads pose a severe threat to the integrity of our election process.

Current regulations of the FCC do not prohibit political ads from containing falsehoods, and this must change. It is critical that accurate information is relayed to the public to ensure our democracy’s health and longevity. By urging the FCC to alter its regulations and hold those spreading falsehoods accountable, we can help foster a more informed electorate.
