Votes allocated by demographic reach each turn. Final 4 turns = 25%; earlier turns = 75%.
A single seat, decided on plurality. Anita Hernandez took 52.2% against 47.8% for the nearest rival.
Why Maryland voters lean toward Anita Hernandez over Marilyn Sinclair. Each driver is signed: + = lift, − = drag. Drivers are relative within this list and only move the persuadable slice of each party's vote, so their real effect is small. Coattail rows are direct share tilts in %. A raw vote lead does not equal the sum of these bars.
Ceiling this cycle: at most 20.0% of Marilyn Sinclair's vote can be persuaded across to Anita Hernandez, and 20.0% of Anita Hernandez's vote can be persuaded away. Registration lean sets the starting split and how hard a party is to move, not the final share. These drivers add up to -0.3 pts of that movable slice.
