Why This Score

Routine primary endorsement by a sitting governor with no constitutional mechanism, no rule-of-law implications, and no structural power shifts. A-score is 0 as none of the seven drivers apply. B-score is low-moderate reflecting standard political news coverage with mild horse-race framing but minimal outrage or strategic distraction value. Falls under Noise classification given A<25, no mechanism, and low-stakes process nature.
