What is not in the video
- Newark and Delaney Hall moved to a separate video. The New Jersey Globe report of the Assembly Republicans' letter refused automated retrieval (locator only). The New York State certified candidate list was not retrieved (state site blocks automated access).
- No midnight or source publication timestamps fabricated; temporal scoring eligibility remains unknown.
- The required fixture-table resolution mode uses a retained empty local identifier table; no synthetic sources or live registry claimed.
- Attribution, source identity and located excerpts are checked. Truth, rights clearance and public release require editorial review.

Corrections
- Test cut v1 (2026-09-29, unlisted, now private) said the July 21 announcement concerned fewer than 400 ineligible registrations; the Governor's statement says roughly 6,600 improper registrations, of whom fewer than 400 had voted (Aug. 19 update: about 5,100 deleted, about 1,450 rejected pending review, about 340 improper registrants voted). v2 states the official numbers.
About this video
What the video shows. The finding we will explain: five weeks before Election Day, the governments in power on both sides of the Hudson and their opponents agree on what voters are angry about, energy bills and trust in the system, and disagree on who is to blame and who should decide. The proof: seven record fragments with their original audio, both sides of three fights. Energy bills in New York: Governor Kathy Hochul (September 14) against Senator Mark Walczyk of the Senate Republican conference (March 4), with the challenger Bruce Blakeman's statement quoted from a news report. The voter rolls in New Jersey: Governor Mikie Sherrill (July 21) against Assemblywoman Vicky Flynn of the Assembly Republicans (August 18), with the House Judiciary and Administration chairmen's letter of August 3 on a card. New York City's five ballot questions: Mayor Zohran Mamdani (September 15) against the City Council spokesperson's statement of July 24, quoted from a news report. The summary puts the three fights on one map with the contested point and the shared premise of each; a final card carries Comuvia's judgement on the complexity of the issues, rated Medium-high and labelled as a judgement.
Correction. The first test cut of this story (unlisted) said the July 21 announcement concerned fewer than 400 ineligible registrations. The Governor's statement says a software error led to the improper registration of roughly 6,600 people who had said they were not citizens, of whom fewer than 400 had voted (August 19 update: about 5,100 registrations deleted, about 1,450 rejected pending review, about 340 improper registrants had voted). This version states the numbers from the official statements. Newark and Delaney Hall moved to a separate video.
How it was made. The presenter is a computer-generated character (Unreal Engine MetaHuman) with an AI voice, reading a script drafted with Comuvia's AI system and reviewed by an editor; the video says so on screen, in its description and in YouTube's altered-or-synthetic-content label. The record fragments are unaltered official and legislative-caucus uploads with their original audio, used as short excerpts with on-screen attribution; statements from news reports are labelled as reported and never shown as footage. Every quotation is anchored to a retained copy of its source in the evidence packet.
How to inspect it. Every source above is a record in a Comuvia SDK store: retained bytes with digests, verbatim assertions with selector checks against the retained text, and the interpretation with its conditions. The New Jersey Globe report of the Assembly Republicans' letter refused automated retrieval and is listed by locator only.
