2025

2025-09-08 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: statement_vs_disclosure
Elfreth's campaign presented her as a strong gun-control advocate, while rival campaign operatives claimed specific votes showed a softer record. Both claims derive from interpretations of her Maryland Senate voting record, and the primary source record of those specific votes is not cited in either article.
2025-07-25 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: position_evolution
Elfreth accepted $4.2M in support from AIPAC, a group that opposes conditioning U.S. aid to Israel, but later called for Israel to take immediate action on civilian protection and humanitarian access. These are distinct policy moments — accepting super PAC support vs. her own substantive policy statement — rather than a direct reversal on the same policy question.

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.
