Why This Score
Routine political endorsement in a primary race with no constitutional implications (no election subversion, rule of law, separation of powers, civil rights, capture, corruption, or violence drivers present). Mechanism unknown, scope limited to single state. Minimal hype potential as standard political news. Falls below A<25 threshold with no mechanism and clear noise indicators, classifying as Noise.
