A-score (10.5): Redistricting is election_admin_change mechanism with moderate constitutional implications. Election driver (3.5) reflects potential manipulation of electoral boundaries for partisan advantage, though California already has independent redistricting commission making actual implementation unclear. Rule_of_law (1.5) and separation (2.0) reflect state-federal tension dynamics. Single_state scope reduces impact (0.85 modifier). Mechanism modifier 1.15 for election administration. Severity: slightly durable if implemented (1.1), mostly reversible (0.95), modest precedent (1.05). B-score (63.8): Extremely high hype signature. Layer 1 (67.5/100): Outrage_bait (75) - explicit Trump framing maximizes partisan reaction, meme_ability (60) - Newsom vs Trump narrative, novelty (55) - redistricting as resistance tool somewhat novel, media_friendliness (80) - simple conflict narrative, prominent governor. Layer 2 (72.5/100): High mismatch (70) - announcement appears more symbolic than substantive given existing independent commission, timing (65) - positioned as Trump counter-response, narrative_pivot (75) - shifts from policy substance to resistance theater, pattern_match (80) - classic blue state resistance positioning. Intentionality (12/15 = 0.54 weight): Explicit Trump framing, partisan conflict narrative, Newsom's national ambitions, announcement without clear implementation path. Delta: -53.3 strongly favors List B classification.
