GovTrack, which tracks voting records of House and Senate lawmakers, removed a 2019 webpage that ranked then-Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., as the “most liberal” U.S. senator in 2019 at some point between July 10 and July 23 of this year.

Social media users have posted that the page was still live on July 22 but GovTrack has not confirmed the exact date the page was removed.

The website rated Harris the “most liberal compared to all senators” in 2019. Harris became vice president in January 2021.

The original link to the page leads to a “Page Not Found” error.

GovTrack founder Joshua Tauberer told Fox News Digital the company ended its single-year ratings of lawmakers, which is why the page was taken down.

“We determined that the limited data available in a single year was not sufficient to create a reliable portrait of the activity of legislators, particularly given the ebbs and flows of the legislative calendar, and therefore did not serve as a useful tool to our users and the American public,” Tauberer said. “We subsequently took down the previously-published single-calendar-year statistics for the same reason.”
