Why This Score

Routine campaign fundraising news with no constitutional mechanism, no rule-of-law, separation-of-powers, or civil-rights implications. Narrow scope (single race, single state) and no evidence of strategic distraction engineering. Falls below A threshold and lacks strong hype/virality markers needed for List B; classified as Noise.
