Lena Dunham found herself at the center of an unexpected (non)scandal on the day of the contentious presidential election, after a journalist tried to call her out for allegedly not voting during the New York primary despite having campaigned for Hillary Clinton.

Vice contributing writer Michael Tracey tweeted a screenshot of Dunham’s voter information, which showed that she was “not enrolled in a party” (and also included her home address). He wrote that because Dunham “is not registered with any party” in New York, she couldn’t have voted for Clinton during the recent New York primary. Alongside the voter information he included a screenshot of a photo of Dunham with an “I Voted” sticker from the primary.

Did you know? Lena Dunham is not registered with any party in NY, so therefore could not have voted for Hillary in the NY primary this year. pic.twitter.com/hwp0MVvmB7 — Michael Tracey (@mtracey) November 8, 2016

Dunham, however, shot down the “non-news story” through a series of tweets, explaining that she had previously been registered as independent but became a registered Democrat after her “political awakening.” She also said once and for all that, yes, she actually did vote for Clinton during the primary.

For those trying to spread a non-news story saying I didn't vote in the primaries, glad you're using your Election Day so constructively... — Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) November 8, 2016

I DID vote and am a registered Democrat. I used to be a registered independent before my "political awakening." — Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) November 8, 2016

I loved voting in the primary and Instagramming the nifty sticker they gave me. — Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) November 8, 2016

it's silly to have to clear this up rather than focus on a historic day, but campaigning for Hillary I took my registration VERY seriously — Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) November 8, 2016

I love you all! Tonight we make history! I may or may not wear a bow. — Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) November 8, 2016
