can't tell the difference between c and d. but I believe the comparison structure is :

"...votes...provide...more accurate...than do speeches...".

It looks strange. There seems to have some missing words.
I try to compare below sentences for you:
A:The actual votes cast by incumbents can provide voters with a more accurate picture of their attitude than the speeches they make while campaigning for reelection.
they , their = incumbents? or = voters?

B:The actual votes cast by incumbents can provide voters with a more accurate picture of the attitudes of incumbents than the speeches they make while campaigning for reelection.

C:The actual votes cast by incumbents can provide voters with a more accurate picture of the attitudes of incumbents than do the speeches they make while campaigning for reelection.
