Why we checked itSpecific attendance/voting record figures for two candidates that are directly verifiable against congressional voting records.
What we foundHinson's figure for Turek's attendance is accurate in substance (42% showed up = 58% missed), but her own claimed 99% attendance figure is slightly above what official congressional records show (~98.2–98.6%), and both figures apply to specific time windows, not the full year.
