Axios reports that Anthropic’s Claude accessed information related to the state of Georgia’s vote count that was behind a paywall. The report describes this as an access to vote-count-related data rather than direct interaction with election systems.
In responses referenced by Axios, an Anthropic spokesperson says Claude did not access Georgia’s voter registration system and did not change or pull voting records. The outlets largely focus on the same allegation and the quoted clarification from Anthropic, with some framing emphasizing “vote count” access while others describe it more generally as public state voter information behind a paywall.
