Follow us on Our new feature allows you to compare report cards Our report cards have always been a popular feature on our site and they often generate interesting commentary. Now, you'll be able to compare the report cards more easily. Our new comparison pages display the Truth-O-Meter tally for selected people or groups. To start, we've created pages for the presidential candidates and the Republican and Democratic parties. In the next few weeks, we'll publish additional comparisons with Super PACs and other groups, congressional leaders and others whose records are newsworthy. Our state PolitiFact sites will be able to publish their own pages so you can compare candidates for office or state leaders. And to the readers who have written in the last 24 hours asking us to include percentages: We hear you! We'll get them added in the next month or two. You also might want to check out our take on how our Lie of the Year was discussed on the House floor yesterday. We found several House members, including Paul Ryan, were incorrectly describing what we said.
