Minnesota is known as a place for clean and participatory politics -- our occasional frustration with it notwithstanding -- and that's a good thing. But still, there's nothing like a good scandal every now and again just so we can double-check to make sure our moral-outrage-o-meter is calibrated. We don't get stuff like they get in Boston, though.
The feature examines statements made by Minnesota politicians and checks them for accuracy. Based on data analysis, document reviews and interviews with non-partisan analysts, statements are rated either true, false or inconclusive. PoliGraph is a collaboration between Minnesota Public Radio News and the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota.
