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

Third largest country on earth, by the way. You have to go to India or China if you wanted to disenfranchise more of an electorate. But we spread democracy! Or something!
