SW WA had as many Bernie/Warren voters as Biden/Clinton. Baird who was our congressman my whole childhood visited Gaza. I don’t understand her thinking this a moderate district? It’s a heavily polarized district if anything. The right gets their news from fb groups like Cowlitz County (Uncensored).

It was entirely clear this is what they were doing. They say it's about immigrants but nothing would stop them from using this on citizens. It's a clear violation of the privacy act. They're combining databases from DHS, HHS, SSA, and IRS to surveil everyone.
