• P
  Persuade

  7,629 voters who split their ticket in recent elections and lean Walkinshaw today.
  +7,629
• M
  Mobilize

  Few precincts give Purves's side 55 percent or more, so turnout is a small lever here; the plan leans on persuasion instead.
  +0
• C
  Consolidate

  Voters who went third party in recent races, in the closest places on the map.
  +324

Plus a national shift of 33.6 points of margin (97,278 votes) that no campaign controls.

1. Purves wins 50 percent of the ticket splitters now leaning Walkinshaw.
2. It would take a national shift of about 33.6 points toward Purves's side, larger than any midterm swing in recent memory.
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.
