Why This Score
This EO is a largely symbolic terminology change with no direct impact on elections, due process, separation of powers, or civil rights; any institutional effect is speculative and minor. It generates modest media curiosity but lacks the outrage, timing coordination, or narrative-pivot markers of a deliberate distraction campaign, landing both scores below significance thresholds.
