(DC Pundit) – GovTrack.us, a website dedicated to tracking the U.S. Congress to enhance government transparency and accessibility, has reportedly removed Kamala Harris’s 2019 page. This page had ranked her as the most liberal senator among the 100 members of the Senate.
The missing page contained data from Harris’s Senate tenure, comparing her to other senators. The analysis revealed that in 2019, Harris was the least likely to co-sponsor bipartisan legislation, missed 61.9% of votes, held the fewest committee positions, and ranked second to last in advancing sponsored bills out of committee.
WSBT reports:
“GovTrack founder Joshua Tauberer told TND the link is based on statistics from a single congressional session, which site owners decided to discontinue after determining this data ‘not sufficient to create a reliable portrait of the activity of legislators.’”
“One of GovTrack.us’s foundational principles is to enable the American public to make data-driven decisions based on the best information we can provide,” Tauberer said. “The page that you are referring to was based on a single calendar year. Several years ago we discontinued creating new single-calendar-year ‘report cards.’”
Dear Govtrack … Why did you delete this? pic.twitter.com/ikcA3sW1e1

We are in uncharted territory after episodes of Axios and GovTrack retroactively changing their reporting. We are in a Soviet-style rewriting of history, not just media bias.https://t.co/34Cuvhc8kC

This decision by GovTrack follows increased efforts by the media to scrub Harris’s contentious record.
CBS: "You're considered the most liberal United States senator."
KAMALA: "I— somebody said that, and it was actually Mike Pence on the debate stage…"
CBS: "Actually, nonpartisan GovTrack has rated you as the most liberal senator."
