The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) got a ton of flak when it was revealed that they wildly inflated the value of one of their proposed cuts due to a math error. But on Tuesday, one DOGE critic showed she was not immune to mathematical gaffes herself.
In a hearing of a House Oversight subcommittee on DOGE, Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) displayed a placard which purported to show the results of a recent Quinnipiac poll showing a majority of Americans disapproved of DOGE and the man tasked with overseeing it, Elon Musk.
But as you can see above, the total of the three categories in the poll added up to 110 percent. Rep. Brian Jack (R-GA) was quick to spot the error.
