Inventory completeness is not policy-audit completeness. Missing evidence is unscored. Party platforms are not imputed to individuals.

Position and record comparison

Jack Reed’s incumbent record provides direct legislative evidence. Ray McKay discusses constitutional and budget reforms in candidate coverage. A complete, source-checked issue matrix and enforceability analysis were not recovered at this depth. Michael Bahry is an independent in the directory.

US Populists assessment

Reform popularity under P14 cannot establish constitutional feasibility or benefit. Reed’s voting record cannot alone identify every future promise. All candidates require separate current proposals; comprehensive ranking withheld.
