Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itAyotte cites a specific statistic — that 15% of the state's population are local residents affected by the toll increases — which is a verifiable factual claim
What we foundThe 15% figure is consistent with official NH DOT estimates of drivers without an NH E-ZPass, but the claim that all of these are 'local people' affected is an approximation, since residency of non-E-ZPass users is untracked.
