• ... that Andrew Clyde became involved in politics after being subject to a civil asset forfeiture of nearly $1 million by the Internal Revenue Service?

• This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. The nomination will be good to go when a QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:22, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Supreme Court election lawsuit amicus brief - not Clyde!

FlyingKitten2024 - in March 2021 [1][2] - you copied/edited two paragraphs of content from another page, indicating: In December 2020, Clyde was one of 126 Republican members of the House of Representatives to sign an amicus brief in support of Texas v. Pennsylvania... This was patently false. Clyde only became a Representative in January 2021. He could not have done any official actions in December 2021. It was [3] actually Doug Collins, the predecessor of Clyde in the Georgia’s 9th Congressional District, that signed the amicus brief. This misinformation has been in the article for nearly two months! It is a serious error and you should be much more careful. starship.paint (exalt) 03:42, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Starship.paint I appreciate the correction and apologize for the mistake. If I recall correctly, I was 1) coming from Rep. Cloud's page (their names are similar) who did support Texas v. Pennsylvania and 2) confused the amicus brief with the ~180 who voted against certification in Jan. It was an unfortunate but honest mistake. For the record, this was one of my first edits on wikipedia and have become considerably more scrupulous in editing since then. FlyingKitten2024 (talk) 12:24, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
