Many voters are willing to accept misinformation from political leaders – even when they know it’s factually inaccurate. According to our research, voters often recognize when their parties’ claims are not based on objective evidence.

A hypothesis is absolutely fair game. I am not going to spend the time to prove it right or wrong in this case, but it’s still 100% legit in my book.
