7:55 p.m. | ANALYSIS: A lot of the sniping over turning over client lists and other personal issues did not make it into this debate, which stuck largely to policy.

7:55 p.m. | FACT CHECK: How bipartisan is Brown? Does he really vote 50 percent with each party?

As Michael Levenson reported following the second debate, it depends how you count the votes.

A Congressional Quarterly analysis found that Brown voted with the Republican leadership 54 percent of the time. But that calculation included dozens of amendments that had no chance of passing.

As the Globe reported in May, on the most important, news-generating votes since he arrived in office in early 2010, Brown joined Republican leaders 76 percent of the time, according to an analysis by Project Vote Smart, a nonpartisan organization.

But Brown repeatedly points to the Congressional Quarterly study to assert that he is a truly bipartisan senator; Democrats meanwhile hold up the Vote Smart study to assert that, on matters of consequence, he is a more reliable Republican vote.

Here’s a graphic illustrating the analysis.

7:45 p.m. | ANALYSIS: Warren making a very strong stance on Brown’s record on women’s issues. Noting he voted against equal pay for equal work, for the Blunt amendment, and against a woman for Supreme Court.

7:39 p.m. | FACT CHECK: Is Brown pro-choice?

Brown calls himself pro-choice and he generally favors legalized abortions. But Massachusetts Citizens for Life supports him and several abortion rights groups have endorsed Warren. The issue is murky, and activists on both sides cite several issues. Here are a few reported on by colleague Michael Levenson:

Brown cosponsored the Blunt Amendment, which would have allowed health plans and employers to decline to pay for abortions, contraception, or other services based on religious or moral objections.

In 2005, when he was in the state Legislature, Brown sought to allow doctors and nurses to opt out of offering emergency contraception to rape victims if the health care workers had religious objections. Brown later voted for the bill without his changes, meaning doctors and nurses would be required to offer emergency contraception, regardless of their beliefs.

Brown has also taken votes in the state Senate and the US Senate that were applauded by abortion-rights supporters. In 2007, he voted to create a 35-foot buffer zone to keep protesters away from abortion clinics. In 2012, he voted to repeal a law that required women in the military who are victims of rape to pay for abortions at military facilities. He also opposed an effort to cut off federal funding for Planned Parenthood.

7:38 p.m. | FACT CHECK: Brown notes that Warren did not voluntarily pay a higher state tax rate, which is true, according to tax returns reviewed by the Globe. Nor did Brown.

7:36 p.m. | FACT CHECK: Warren says Brown has protected subsidies for oil companies.

On March 29, Brown voted against a bill that would have repealed $24 billion in tax breaks for the five largest oil companies operating in the United States. Brown argues those taxes would be passed on to drivers in the form of higher prices at the pump and to homeowners in the form of higher home-heating costs.

7:36 p.m. | FACT CHECK: Warren said Brown opposed a rule that would prevent CEOs from paying less taxes than their secretaries.

Here’s what colleague Michael Levenson wrote on the Buffett rule following the second debate: The Buffett Rule, championed by billionaire investor Warren Buffett, would impose a 30 percent minimum tax on people with incomes over $1 million a year — guaranteeing that the rich pay the same tax rate as their secretaries.

It would raise about $5 billion in revenue annually, assuming that Congress lets the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy expire. That is enough to fuel the federal government for about 11 hours, according to a Washington Post analysis.

But that doesn’t mean the Buffett Rule is insignificant, according to Joseph Rosenberg, a research associate at the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center.
