Inventory completeness is not policy-audit completeness. Missing evidence is unscored. Party platforms are not imputed to individuals.
Position and record comparison
Ben Ray Luján emphasizes rising costs, housing, healthcare, and opposition to damaging tariffs. Larry Marker discusses debt and retirement-program stability; a complete reform formula was not recovered. Marker’s route through a write-in primary does not mean he is necessarily a general-election write-in.
US Populists assessment
Separate printed-ballot status from nomination method. Luján’s access goals require mechanisms and finance; Marker’s solvency goals need an O04-consistent actuarial plan. National cost concern is not evidence for an unspecified New Mexico proposal.
