Martin, you said, "What begins as an operational optimization gradually becomes a constitutional problem." I would like to remind you of what (I think it was) James Madison said, which was that our form of government is fit only for a moral people. In that light I suggest that your statement does not go far enough back but stops one step short. Correction doesn't end with the constitution. It ends with the morality of the people and the morality of those who are given power.
Only when the people have tools that expose the truly massive amount of corruption that exists in a non-verifiable system will they be shocked enough to realize how incredibly important it is for a society to govern itself with verifiable systems and not allow the use of systems that create ambiguity in the quest for efficiency.
Minnesota is a prime example of a system that is enormously corrupt. The election system hasn't just moved toward efficiency by institutional inertia. The entire system of that state has been systematically and deliberately corrupted by predators in order to assure that the state's leaders and government remain in the hands of the predators. Unless the Minnesota Supreme Court sides with Oak Grove, the city will have no choice but to submit itself into the state's knowingly corrupted election system. If so, the predicted outcome I suggest will be that OG's next election somehow results in tossing out those who helped Erik and putting into place those who are part of the corrupt state system.
We need a tool that will not only perform as your system does already (which exposes pure institutional decay) but also pull out of the data available to AI a rating for the degree of corruption in the system being examined. What are the readable signs that a degrading system is simply an institutional problem that can be repaired by trustworthy people once they see the procedural problem? What are the readable signs that a degrading system is being driven by bad actors who will actively resist exposure and fight reform efforts, causing discouragement and raising the cost of correction past the point citizens can pay for even with this corrective system?
Our biggest problem is not actually the horse of institutional decay. It is that an entire class of linked predators ride that horse as hard as they can. Leave them in and hidden and all efforts to fix our institutions will be hobbled to the point of irrelevance. Expose them and take them out of the picture, and improvements will come almost without effort.
AI is a pattern-recognition tool. What is the pattern of corruption?
I believe that, as a pioneer on the subject, you are well-qualified to offer your services as an Expert Witness in a court of law on the subject of the Process of Lawful Governance.

I recommend people give Martin's toolchain a go - it led to this collaboration and has altered my thinking on the topic, which is refreshing.
