After the May primary, Mackenzie's campaign cut his pro-life rating, gun rights, voter ID, women's sports and sanctuary city lines from its 'Record' page and put in 'Working Across the Aisle.' The record behind them is all still on file.
A whistleblower says Homeland Security pulled hundreds of immigration officers off national security work to hunt 'unlawful voters' in all 50 states, told them to type other people's personal details into state voter lookup sites, gave them 12 minutes per person, and had them open law enforcement records on data its own trainers said came from 'supplemental magic.'
