Seed, cluster, re-weight

It's a simulation, not a poll. 2028 match-ups are hypothetical; the 2024 line carries the real result so you can see how well-calibrated the model is. Scenario reactions follow each state's demographics plus distance from the origin, framed as a pattern in the data, not a prophecy.
