VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: platform_vs_vote

VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: statement_vs_disclosure
Knott touted infrastructure investment as a top priority and sits on the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, yet voted for the OBBB which repealed clean energy tax credits that supported infrastructure modernization for 89,000 North Carolina households — prioritizing tax cuts over the infrastructure investments he publicly championed.
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.
