the problem I have is that the law (609.772) appears to not only apply to political content, but all content that is

"so realistic that a reasonable person would believe it depicts speech or conduct of an individual who did not in fact engage in such speech or conduct; " and made without consent and wintin 90 days of political party conventions or after absentee voting starts.

By the way it is written the "presidents play Minecraft" series which most informed people would fully understand was not made my any presidents would likely fall under this law.

A reasonable person would not believe that that was made by the Presidents, though.
