If a reader actually examines the data at the links, he or she will see where the differences lie. To say "the charts didn't look at or find [sic] any differences" when it might be more accurate to say "I didn't look at the data that would have shown me the differences" is problematic at best.

It would not be surprising if what a layman perceives based on agenda driven story lines and narratives from self-selected (and often bias-confirming) sources doesn't line up with what a data analyst determines based on a careful, thorough, and objective examination of a politician's actual record.

Voters who want facts rather than the spin should care enough to research a politician's actual record. An objective analysis based on facts is reliably accurate and extremely useful.

Just saying.
