04

Documented contradictions 3

Stated-position-vs-revealed-conduct contradictions analysed against the official's commitments, scored by strength of the contradiction.

  • platform_vs_vote SCORE 90
    Collins voted against ACA repeal because it would strip coverage from millions and raise costs, yet weeks later voted for a tax bill that achieved the same result by repealing the individual mandate. She accepted promises of subsequent healthcare legislation that GOP leaders never delivered, with the day after her tax vote making clear there would be no vote on those measures.
  • platform_vs_vote SCORE 90
    Collins claimed she had 'done her homework' and that Kavanaugh would respect Roe as settled law — her stated precondition for supporting any nominee. Kavanaugh and Gorsuch then voted to overturn Roe in Dobbs. Collins' expression of feeling 'misled' directly contradicts her earlier assurances to constituents that her votes were based on careful vetting, not assurances from the nominees alone.
  • reversal SCORE 60
    Collins voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment for inciting the January 6 insurrection, citing the severity of his actions. However, only one year earlier she voted to acquit him in his first impeachment, claiming he had 'learned a pretty big lesson' — a prediction that was directly contradicted by the events of January 6.

What this scorecard does and doesn't claim

Every figure above is a count of records the platform already holds, each click-through-able to its source. The scorecard adds no inference, no forecast, and no narrative — it aggregates what is documented.

A populated scorecard is not a finding of corruption. It documents the volume of stated-vs-revealed tension, donor-adjacent silence, and broken commitments on the public record for this official. Silence in particular is the absence of an expected statement; it can have innocent explanations and is never presented as proof. Read each item's source before drawing conclusions.
