Summary

Senator Amy Klobuchar filed paperwork and moved closer to announcing a run for Minnesota governor. This represents routine electoral politics and candidate positioning.

Why This Score

This is textbook routine electoral politics. A sitting senator filing paperwork to run for governor is a standard democratic process with zero constitutional implications. No drivers are triggered: no election integrity issues (just normal candidacy), no rule of law concerns, no institutional damage. The mechanism is 'unknown' because there is no mechanism of constitutional harm - this is normal political activity. B-score is minimal (2.2) reflecting only basic media coverage of a political figure's career move. The event meets all noise criteria: routine politics, no constitutional mechanism, standard process, limited scope.

IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING

IGNORE - Routine electoral politics with no constitutional significance. Standard candidate positioning for state-level office. No monitoring required unless unusual interference or irregularities emerge in the electoral process itself.
