How to win with 22.875% of the vote, with no third parties

Uh... what turnout assumptions are all of you using?

If a single person shows up to vote in all the states marked in grey, and votes for me, and every registered voter in the states marked in green votes a million times, and votes for my cat, I win with 0.00% of the vote.

No, you don't because you're not an American born older than 35.

You're just jealous because you're not as popular with voters as my cat.

If a candidate got 50% of the vote in all the green states, and 0% in all the gray states, he would win with 22.875% of the vote and 279 EVs. That's the smallest it can get without 3rd parties, I think.

You don't need 279. Dump whichever 9 EV state has the highest population turnout.

Except you may notice there aren't any gray states with 9 or fewer EVs.

Arizona could be dumped if the candidate in question can count on the House to vote him into office.

He's proposing to win with the Green states.

Well, for a bump, that's a bump.

A bad reading comprehension bump, too.
