Vote contradicts: platform_vs_vote
Thompson co-sponsored H.R. 1, the For the People Act, making it the top Democratic priority, but then cast the lone Democratic vote against it—breaking with his entire party and his own co-sponsorship—citing constituent opposition to redistricting and public campaign financing provisions that he had previously endorsed by co-sponsoring the bill.

VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: reversal
Thompson condemned Trump for attempting to overturn the 2020 election and chaired the January 6 Committee, yet in 2005 he himself voted to object to Ohio's electoral votes in the 2004 presidential election—one of 31 Democrats who challenged certification in the last such formal objection before 2021.

What this view assembles
- Promises & violations — every documented commitment + each documented break, with primary sources.
- Contradiction pairs — fact-against-fact entries from the contradictions ledger; the "said" appears in its year, the "did" appears in its year.
- Vote-based analyses — for elected officials, every documented case where a vote diverged from a stated commitment.
- Entity events — major dated events recorded against the entity (acquisitions, indictments, appointments, etc.).
This view DOES NOT auto-detect new drift candidates. It surfaces records that are already on file. If you spot an undocumented inversion, the curator workflow (admin) is where to add it.
