What has to be true
  1. Kozycki wins 18 percent of the ticket splitters and undecided voters now leaning McCormick.
  2. No national wave is required. The plan uses 35 percent of what recent Georgia results show is possible.
  3. The starting line comes from the published 2026 head-to-head polls between these two finalists, sponsored ones included; if the true gap is different, so is the plan.
