@internetarchive How is that when I look at most url's via waybackmachine, I can see preserved snapshots - but when I look at confirmkavanaugh.com on the archive, the snapshots have more "current" information? Like, the snapshot from Feb 3 2018? Footer has 9/18 content.... ??
In fact, when I look at snapshots for that domain, I see 13 - first one is dated Feb 3 - here's the screenshot of that right now - note the url that should be returned if I were to click on the 08:48:07 snapshot (web.archive.org/web/2018020308…)
But when I click on that Feb 3rd link, the URL is changed, and instead of returning this "web.archive.org/web/2018020308…" (**20180203084807**) - it redirects to this: "web.archive.org/web/2018092108…" (**20180921081236) - which appears to be a Sept 21st snapshot link, with more current data.
Is this normal behavior? When I look at sites I manage via the Way Back Machine, the snapshots seem accurate, and are not replaced with different dates.

How does this happen?
@waybackmachine Any comment? I am very curious about this. I did find this article suggesting snapshots returned can potentially be manipulated.
