IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Monitor your state's response to federal database access requests and whether election officials resist or comply with citizenship verification demands that could lead to eligible voter purges.
Why This Score
This scores high on constitutional damage (A=79) due to significant election integrity concerns—federal database citizenship checks create infrastructure for voter suppression and challenge state election administration authority. The election_admin_change mechanism with federal+broad scope amplifies impact. While it generates moderate distraction (B=39) and appears timed with other major events, the governance harm clearly dominates (D=+40), making this solidly List A.
