Why we checked itSpecific dollar figure claimed for outside/super PAC spending supporting Ashley Hinson — verifiable against FEC filings
What we foundOutside money clearly exceeds $85 million when all spending in the Iowa race is combined, but the portion specifically 'supporting' Hinson — from pro-Republican groups — appears to be in the range of $64 million or more, making the $85 million figure an overstatement if limited to supportive spending.
