Every quote above passed mechanical verbatim verification against a dated, hashed capture of the candidate's site, archived independently at the Wayback Machine. “Aligns with platform” / “conflicts with platform” marks are editorial assessments against the platform's published ask catalog — the same standard for every party, always citing the specific ask, and never a verdict on whether a promise was kept. Most commitments carry no mark because the platform takes no position on their subject. Methods and limits: the tracker index.
