  • Mobilize +78,382
    At least 588,952 people who voted in 2024 but not in 2022, in counties where Collins's side wins at least 55 percent.
  • Consolidate +7,976
    Voters who went third party in recent races, in the counties that lean Collins's way.

Plus a 0.1-point national shift (2,157 votes) that no campaign controls.

What has to be true

  1. Collins wins 50 percent of the ticket splitters and undecided voters now leaning Ossoff.

  4. The starting line comes from published 2026 polls, including campaign or party sponsored polls where those are the only ones; if the true gap is different, so is the plan.

How

  • Persuade +7,125
    7,125 voters who split their ticket in recent elections and lean McBath today.

  • Consolidate +165
    Voters who went third party in recent races, in the precincts that lean Martin's way.

Plus a 46.5-point national shift (135,594 votes) that no campaign controls.

What has to be true

  1. Martin wins 50 percent of the ticket splitters now leaning McBath.
  2. In Precinct 07B (Fulton County) and 08f1 (Fulton County), 35 percent of the people who voted in 2024 but skipped 2022 come back and vote.
  3. The national environment moves about 46.5 points toward Martin's side between now and November 3.
