This event scores high on both constitutional damage (A=63.34) and distraction/hype (B=58.19) with a delta of +5.15, placing it in Mixed territory. Constitutional concerns are substantial: federalizing local elections represents a direct attack on election integrity (4.5), violates federalism principles and separation of powers (4.0), and threatens rule of law (3.5). The mechanism modifier of 1.25 reflects the concrete administrative change proposed, though single-state scope reduces impact (0.85). Severity multipliers account for precedent-setting danger (1.2) and moderate durability (1.1). However, the proposal also generates massive hype: extremely high outrage potential (8.5), strong media appeal (8.0), and significant novelty (7.5). Layer 2 strategic indicators are elevated with clear pattern-matching to authoritarian playbooks (7.5) and substantial mismatch between proposal severity and likely implementation (7.0). Intentionality markers include trial balloon testing, base mobilization around election fraud narratives, and potential distraction from other controversies. The high intentionality score (11) increases Layer 2 weight to 55%. Both scores exceed 25 with delta under 10, confirming Mixed classification.
