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 closes at 35 percent of what recent Georgia results show is possible.
  3. 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.
