Mahoney’s estimate focused on the number of voters who would divide their ballots rather than vote exclusively for one party’s candidates. In his assessment, Jackson’s path to winning depended on attracting a sizable share of those split-ticket voters. The strategist set the needed range at no fewer than 300,000 and no more than 320,000 voters, framing that turnout pattern as the threshold for a Jackson victory.

The account does not present an actual count of split-ticket ballots cast. Instead, it describes a benchmark for the level of crossover support Mahoney believed Jackson would require. The stated range spans 20,000 voters. The material identifies Mahoney as a Republican strategist and presents his assessment as a forecast tied to Jackson’s prospects of securing victory.
