Biden campaign agrees to pay $106K for violating NH robocall laws

The Biden presidential campaign has agreed to pay $106,000 to settle a complaint alleging violations of New Hampshire’s robocall laws during the 2020 election. The complaint alleged that the campaign placed automated calls to New Hampshire residents without obtaining required approval. The settlement was announced by the New Hampshire Department of Justice. The campaign agreed to pay $106,000 in civil penalties and professional fees. The campaign acknowledged that the violations stemmed from robocalls made without first obtaining the required approval from the Department of Safety. The settlement resolves the complaint, which was filed by the Department of Justice’s Consumer Protection and Antitrust Bureau in November 2022. The bureau alleged that the campaign failed to get prior approval for the robocalls, which were made to New Hampshire residents in the final days of the 2020 election.
