Inventory completeness is not policy-audit completeness. Missing evidence is unscored. Party platforms are not imputed to individuals.
Position and record comparison
Ed Markey and John Deaton are the principal-party nominees. Markey’s incumbent voting record is available; Deaton’s campaign supplies a lead for current proposals. The reviewed record is insufficient for a fully symmetric, audited policy matrix.
US Populists assessment
Do not substitute Markey’s national reputation or Deaton’s party for current mechanism-level evidence. Compare affordable care, energy, civil liberties, retirement finance, and accountability through sourced proposals and relevant votes. Overall ranking is withheld.
