GovTrack, which purports to track “the U.S. Congress to make our government more open and accessible,” has apparently ‘disappeared’ Kamala Harris’s 2019 page, which ranked her as the most liberal senator out of 100.
Archives, however, are forever.
The now-missing page shows data from Harris’s time in the Senate and compared to other senators. The analysis shows in 2019, Harris was the least likely to cosign on bipartisan legislation, missed 61.9% of votes, held the fewest committee positions, and ranked second from last in getting sponsored bills out of committee.
The organization claims the erasure is due to a change in how they report information and directs users to a new watered-down page that makes finding her liberal ranking more difficult.
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 it 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’”
Tauberer pointed readers to their 2020 report card, which named Harris the second-most liberal senator behind Sen. Bernie Sanders.

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

Kamala was asked about the ranking by CBS.
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.”

The move from GovTrack comes on the heels of increased attempts by the media to rewrite Harris’s disastrous record.
The Gateway Pundit reported that an Axios writer tried to claim that Harris was never named ‘Border Czar.’
