Claim: In Arkansas' 2nd Congressional District, Democrat Joyce Elliott accuses her opponent, Tim Griffin, of violating the commandment not to bear false witness — but she goes on to make questionable claims herself: Elliott says Griffin "conspired to keep students and soldiers from voting" in the 2004 election, an unproven allegation that has resulted in no charges. Her ad says Griffin "opposes regulating Wall Street." It's true he opposes the Democratic financial reform bill, but not all financial regulations.
