IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
No action needed; disregard as routine electoral news.
Why This Score
Routine primary field narrowing is standard democratic process with no identifiable mechanism of harm, no institutional impact, and minimal hype potential. Single social-media-style post with no substantive claims. Both A and B scores fall below thresholds, and lack of mechanism plus mundane subject matter confirms noise classification.
