2023

2023-06-01 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: statement_vs_vote
Amodei claims to be 'pro-immigration' but authored and voted for HR 2 Secure the Border Act (2023), which mandates border wall completion, ends asylum protections, and restricts legal immigration - directly contradicting his stated position

2017

2017-09-01 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: same_source_inconsistency
Both quotes come from the same 2017 RGJ article where Amodei self-describes as 'pro-immigration Republican' while simultaneously justifying his vote for $1.6 billion border wall funding, demonstrating clear internal inconsistency within a single interview

What this view assembles

  • Promises & violations — every documented commitment + each documented break, with primary sources.
  • Contradiction pairs — fact-against-fact entries from the contradictions ledger; the "said" appears in its year, the "did" appears in its year.
  • Vote-based analyses — for elected officials, every documented case where a vote diverged from a stated commitment.
  • Entity events — major dated events recorded against the entity (acquisitions, indictments, appointments, etc.).

This view DOES NOT auto-detect new drift candidates. It surfaces records that are already on file. If you spot an undocumented inversion, the curator workflow (admin) is where to add it.
