Judge Dismisses DOJ Lawsuit Seeking Oregon Voter Data

This event scores low on constitutional damage (A=4.16) because it represents the judiciary BLOCKING potential overreach, not enabling it. Rule_of_law (3) reflects DOJ attempting questionable data collection; separation (4) shows judicial check functioning properly. The 0.5 mechanism modifier applies because judicial action PREVENTED harm rather than caused it. Single-state scope (0.7) and high reversibility (0.9) further reduce impact. B-score (14.54) is moderate - the 'judge blocks DOJ' framing generates outrage (6) and fits media narratives (7), with Layer 2 showing mismatch (7) between alarm and actual protective outcome. Pattern_match (8) connects to broader voter fraud narratives. However, both scores fall well below thresholds (A<25, B<25), and the event demonstrates normal constitutional checks working as designed. This is system-correcting noise, not constitutional crisis.
