- McMorrow, questioned on CNN Sunday, said she erased roughly 6,000 tweets as part of a broad cleanup and argued voters want authenticity.
- Pressed on why she voted in California after saying she relocated to Michigan in 2014, she said moving took time and noted she registered in Michigan in August 2016.
