This was followed by campaign events with small business owners in multiple states (Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Virginia, Ohio, Iowa, Missouri, North Carolina, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Mexico and Nevada)
This list omits Florida. The Romney campaign’s own July 25, 2012 release said the “We Did Build This” events were held in 12 states, including Florida.
Full reasoning
The parenthetical list is incomplete and therefore inaccurate.
The Romney campaign's official July 25, 2012 press release said its 24 "We Did Build This" events would be held in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Virginia, Ohio, Iowa, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Mexico, and Nevada. The same release then specifically lists two Florida events, one in Tampa and one in Palm Beach.
That directly contradicts the article's state list, which leaves out Florida even though the next clause immediately refers to "one of the campaign events in Florida."
