IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Track the DOJ's compliance with court orders to disclose which states received election-data demands, and monitor whether the Alaska certification challenge proceeds if the GOP candidate loses.
Why This Score
DOJ lawsuits threatening to contest a Senate race outcome and disputing 20,000 ballots, combined with demands sent to multiple states and judicial findings of 'intimidation' against election officials, represent a direct and reusable assault on election certification machinery and rule of law. The story is substantive (court orders, concrete legal filings) rather than performative, so distraction/hype scoring is moderate and dominance clearly favors List A.
