Good in theory, but there’s a number of them who are outright from other countries doing this to help destabilize the election. It’s not that hard to spoof a local number and someone who can do a US accent. After an investigation, sanctions could maybe occur, but this is the worldwide political landscape at this point: it’s gamed from all sides by all sides from everywhere at once.
Obviously, a number of them are also real, home-grown terrorists, but it’s hard to say whether they’re the majority or not.
Finally, how do we make those investigations happen when surely a large number of them are actually from off-duty law enforcement officers who, as they say, “work forces and burn crosses?” The boys in blue tend to have a blue wall of silence when it comes to their own crimes. Police are some of the most radicalized groups in the US, they’re primed to violently suppress the populace, they love it.
Radical idea: hold the phone companies responsible for that particular shit. If someone spoofs a number that isn’t theirs, fine the phone company $1000/spoofed call.
I bet we’d all be surprised how quickly spoofed calls stop happening.
How about free service for a month per call for every person who recieves a spoofed call, if me and my family are anything to judge by that would result in no one having to pay their phone bills for at least several years

$10000, at minimum.

Not much use to people with a different provider. Just give the $10k to whoever received the call.
