She did so....because she was wrong on her facts. Now THAT'S something to worry about.

But I'll read up on his voting record.

A candidate is more than just a voting record. This is why representatives & Senators are rarely elected President; it's easy to attack their voting records. Sometimes people vote for or against a bill for specific reasons that are not the main thrust of the bill, or because it's best for their constituents.

Representatives are in Congress to represent the interests of their district and state. Not the U.S. as a whole.

What matters most is that he supports most of the Democratic Party Platform. That is, that he's a real Democrat. Democrats can have differing opinions on details, but they support the main points, which is why they are Democrats.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
