With primaries completed this week in Florida and Ohio, as well as in Illinois, Missouri and North Carolina, we thought it was a good time to look at the remaining candidates trying to capture their party's nomination for president. In the accompanying chart, you'll see a snapshot of where their Truth-O-Meter scorecards stood as of this week using PolitiFact's system of rating the accuracy of statements made. (To learn about the methodology, go to tinyurl.com/hp6km47, and to access dynamic scorecards, which update automatically with new fact-checks, go to tinyurl.com/zzs9g5f). The candidates are ranked by polling average.
