POLITICAL GLITCH: Sen. Thom Tillis’s Voting Record Shows He Cast Ballot on a Bill That Didn’t Exist — For 18 Minutes

CHARLOTTE, NC — In what data analysts are calling a “temporal anomaly,” the official Senate voting record for North Carolina Republican Thom Tillis appears to show him casting a “yea” vote on a piece of legislation that was never introduced, debated, or digitally created — for exactly 18 minutes.

The glitch was discovered by a data visualization researcher combing through the Library of Congress’s Congress.gov API. According to the timestamp metadata, Tillis’s vote on “Amendment 2187-A” was logged at 3:14:22 PM ET on March 12, 2025. The only problem? The amendment’s unique bill identifier doesn’t exist in any legislative database — and according to internal server logs, the text of that amendment wasn’t typed into existence until 3:32:47 PM ET.

“He voted on something that literally did not yet have characters on a screen,” said Dr. Lena Voss, a systems integrity analyst. “It’s like a premonition in a spreadsheet. The digital paper trail just starts with Senator Tillis’s name, then a blank void, then the text appears eighteen minutes later. The matrix glitched, and Thom Tillis is the only one who saw the future.”

Tillis’s office has not commented, but a junior staffer allegedly muttered: “He’s been moving fast lately.”

Astrophysicists are confused. Database administrators are terrified. And the C-SPAN archive shows Tillis staring blankly at his phone during that exact 18-minute window.

Is Thom Tillis a time traveler?
