The Gateway Pundit reported on deleted tweets from Michigan State Senator and Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow.
Yet, a review of her deleted tweets shows she references voting in California, where the New Jersey native moved to before moving to Michigan, suggesting she voted in California’s Democrat primary, describing herself as a constituent of Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA).
McMorrow repeatedly referenced voting in California’s June 2016 Democratic primary and urged voters to register for it. In other now-deleted posts, McMorrow also described herself in July 2016 as a constituent of California Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu and referenced voting in person in November 2014 in the Los Angeles area, where she was a resident at the time.
On Sunday, McMorrow joined CNN’s Inside Politics Sunday with Manu Raju for a segment titled “One-on-One with Democrat Under Fire for Deleted Tweets.”
Manu Raju: I want to dig a little bit deeper here because the K-File report demonstrated that you wrote in your auto— 2025 autobiography that you, quote, ‘relocated permanently to Michigan in 2014.’
Mallory McMorrow: So we decided to move to Michigan in 2014. I was still working in Southern California. My then-boyfriend, now-husband, was working in Michigan. Like many millennials, moving takes time. It was a 2-year process to finally settle in Michigan. And I registered to vote in Michigan in August of 2016 and voted in the general election in November that year.
Manu Raju: But you wrote you relocated permanently in 2014. And you also posted an Instagram post that you had moved out of California. And that was before the June 16th primary in that state.
Mallory McMorrow: We still had our place out in Southern California. And as I mentioned, we had multiple jobs. But that’s not the case, just like it is for many people. Moving is ugly. I wish we could have just up and moved in one fell swoop.
Manu Raju: Because you had blasted a Twitter user in 2024 for voting in Michigan after moving to California. You appealed it illegal then.
Mallory McMorrow: Yeah, absolutely. If you are doing that intentionally after moving permanently to a place, that is illegal.

Manu Raju: But in our case, it was a 2-year process. And when I was finally a permanent resident in Michigan, that is where I registered and that is where I voted.
Mallory McMorrow: Okay. So it sounds like you shouldn’t have noted you relocated permanently in your autobiography.
Manu Raju: We made the decision to permanently relocate, but it does take time. And yeah, could have worded it a little bit differently.
MCMORROW: “Moving takes time.”

Recently, McMorrow deleted around 6,000 posts from her social media accounts, including some that disparaged her new state, while others presented a conflicting timeline of her “official” Michigan residency.
In her 2025 autobiography, McMorrow wrote that she “relocated permanently” to Michigan in 2014.
Yet a CNN KFile review of the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine reveals a series of now-deleted social media posts of McMorrow describing herself as a California resident as late as July 2016.
McMorrow repeatedly referenced voting in California’s June 2016 Democratic primary and urged voters to register for it. In other now-deleted posts, McMorrow also described herself in July 2016 as a constituent of California Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu and referenced voting in person in November 2014 in the Los Angeles area, where she was a resident at the time.
Manu Raju: I want to dig a little bit deeper here because the K-File report revealed that you wrote in your auto— 2025 autobiography that you, quote, ‘relocated permanently to Michigan in 2014.’
But there are social media posts of yours where you describe yourself as a California resident in 2016. And the reason why this is an issue is because you posted you voted in June 2016 Democratic primary in California.
And I don’t need to tell you, but of course, you’re required to vote in the state you’re a resident of.
So, why would you be voting in California 2 years after moving to Michigan?
Mallory McMorrow: So we decided to move to Michigan in 2014. I was still working in Southern California. My then-boyfriend, now-husband, was working in Michigan. Like many millennials, moving takes time. It was a 2-year process to finally settle in Michigan. And I registered to vote in Michigan in August of 2016 and voted in the general election in November that year.
Manu Raju: But you wrote you relocated permanently in 2014. And you also posted an Instagram post that you had moved out of California. And that was before the June 16th primary in that state.
Should you have voted in the 2016 primary in California?
Mallory McMorrow: We still had our place out in Southern California. And as I mentioned, we had multiple jobs. But that’s not the case, just like it is for many people. Moving is ugly. I wish we could have just up and moved in one fell swoop.
