Says vs. does — per issue

Stated position vs. voting record.

What they campaigned on (SAYS) next to how they actually voted (DOES), and the gap between. Both are neutral ink bars — SAYS hollow, DOES solid — sized by magnitude; a large gap reads as a hatched RECORD ≠ STATED mark, not an alarm. Never by party.
