Sydney Sweeney has been used in an election ad with a twist

A clip about voter fraud has gone viral for its (presumably) unauthorized use of actor Sydney Sweeney.

It will also give you a chuckle.

The ad, released on Wednesday by Californians for Voter ID, supports Proposition 39 of the US constitution. Currently, a California voter is not required to show identification at the polling booth. 

The ad humorously highlights the problem with not mandating voter ID, because it ends with Sweeney's arrest.

Of course, it's completely AI-generated.

In the short clip, a disheveled man shows up to vote and announces himself as “Sydney Sweeney”.

The polling booth officer looks at him suspiciously and asks, “Can I see your ID then, Sydney?”

Another poll worker tells her off: “Sharon, you can’t ask for ID.”

The first officer then gives the man a ballot, adding, “Thank you for voting, Sydney.”

The man hilariously shakes (his thinning) hair out, pleased with himself.

The next scene shows ‘Sydney Sweeney’ — an AI-generated version of the actor — being taken away by two police officers and questioning them, “Voter fraud? What are you talking about?”

The creators, Californians for Voter ID, said last week on Facebook:

“Prop 39 is a battle of politicians versus people. Politicians want you to vote no. The People are voting yes.

“This ad is a parody, but the problem is not.”

The proposition would require voters to show government-issued identification to vote in person, and to write the last four digits of an ID number on the envelope when voting by mail.

Democrats reportedly oppose voter ID laws and have blocked Republican efforts to pass a national ID requirement for federal elections.

“Republicans say the requirement would prevent fraud. Democrats say it would make voting harder.”

California is one of 14 US states that do not require ID to vote. Thirty-six states request some form of ID, and 24 of them ask for a photo ID.
