The piece argues Humphrey will rally black Americans to widen turnout while courting white liberals, betting on TV blitzes and a 15 to 20 state surge. It notes poor registration among the very poor outside Texas and South Carolina, risks of a minority victory, and a possible electoral crisis if no 270 EVs are reached.
