The standing assessment is retained because no material reporting-window change was verified. Immigration metrics must separate encounters, unique people, parole, detention, removal and lawful admission. Election coverage must identify the jurisdiction, operative law, audit or court result. Allegations involving corruption or foreign-linked networks remain allegations unless supported by filings, charges, judgments or financial records.

70% ConfidenceProcedural distinctions are strong; no material new dataset or final court action was identified.

Executive actions do not displace constitutional state authority or enacted statutes.
No new verified nationwide fraud finding arose in the window.

Material unknowns

Case backlogs
Final litigation outcomes
State implementation differences

The administration seeks lower unauthorized entry and stronger election verification. Measured success requires encounters, unique persons, removals, backlogs, lawful admissions, audits and final case outcomes to remain distinct.
