This is based on 43 states being considered "non-negotiable" and "set in stone" while only 7 are considered "swing" states
Also consider I specified "voters", who are at best only 2/3 of the total population, which leaves out about 100 million extra people
Every single aspect of voting in this country is a system of hedging bets. It is a tangled mess of yarn, fishing line, cables, and hair. Unfucking a single piece of it wouldn’t fix it, nor is anyone even willing to try. The system cannot correct itself and voting is a useless waste of time. The only way to “Save Democracy” would be to burn it all down and go again.

Lemmytors are truly insufferable, they come out and speak like the patients from heavy delusions jokes, but are entirely serious. And the worst part is, they are always assume it "will happen" despite all the centuries of it not happening.
"If you don't like the candidates, vote for the person most likely to implement ranked choice voting and then campaign to get it adopted!" I personally am fine with the status quo and will do nothing to help but good luck out there kiddo.
So, Claudia de la Cruz?
No, silly, she can't win because it has been foreordained as such.
