An anti-voting robocall that seems to use an artificially generated version of President Joe Biden's voice is being investigated by the New Hampshire Attorney General's office. The calls sent on Sunday told Democrats to avoid voting in the Presidential Primary on January 23.

"Although the voice in the robocall sounds like the voice of President Biden, this message appears to be artificially generated based on initial indications," the state AG's office said in an announcement today. The recorded message appears "to be an unlawful attempt to disrupt the New Hampshire Presidential Primary Election and to suppress New Hampshire voters," the announcement said.

The "Biden" voice in the recording (available with this NBC News article) sounds a bit off but perhaps could fool some people into thinking it came from the president.
