How
  • P
    Persuade
    7,840 voters who split their ticket in recent elections and lean Adams today.
    +7,840
  • M
    Mobilize
    There are almost no precincts Codiga's side carries, so turnout alone cannot help here.
    +0
  • C
    Consolidate
    Voters who went third party in recent races, in the precincts that lean Codiga's way.
    +414

Plus a national shift of 43.9 points of margin (93,298 votes) that no campaign controls.

What has to be true
  1. Codiga wins 50 percent of the ticket splitters now leaning Adams.
  2. The national environment moves about 43.9 points toward Codiga's side between now and November 3.
  3. No 2026 public poll exists for this race, so the starting line is a weighted blend of official recent results; the first real poll will move it.
