Inventory completeness is not policy-audit completeness. Missing evidence is unscored. Party platforms are not imputed to individuals.
Position and record comparison
Kurt Alme, Alani Bankhead, independent Seth Bodnar, and Libertarian Kyle Austin form the reported field; Steve Daines is not the nominee. An October 7 healthcare questionnaire reports Alme emphasizing competition and patient-directed spending. The other candidates’ full healthcare answers require examination before a symmetric comparison.
US Populists assessment
Do not transfer Daines’s votes to Alme. Competition proposals need evidence of access, total cost, and transition protections; care expansion needs finance and capacity. Bodnar’s independent status does not establish a policy. Withhold missing cells rather than manufacture parity.
