Factual error: When Congressman Johnson is in a meeting with Pro-Bono advocate, Celia Kirby, he brings the topic of auto insurance up and asks her assistant, Ira, how much he pays. Ira states he has a '82 Dodge Dart. Dodge did not make an automobile of that particular model, in that year. (00:51:15)

Continuity mistake: When the congressmen are playing cards, Johnson is shuffling. The first shot shows three stacks of chips on the table to the right of Johnson. The closeup shot on him shuffling shows the chips are directly under his right arm and hand. This same sequence takes place in the two other shots as well. (01:01:05)
Thomas Jefferson Johnson: We're not going to show you Jeff Johnson waving a flag. We're not going to show you Jeff Johnson kissing babies. We're not going to show you Jeff Johnson doing anything because you already know what Jeff Johnson can do. Tomorrow, vote Jeff Johnson. The name you know.
