6. Pretty big assumption in that assertion

The current totals being reported in wisconsin give Trump a lead of 29,687 over Harris. Stein and RFK Jr together have 29,940 votes -- so if you assume that every voter that cast a ballot for Stein and RFK Jr would have voted for Harris it means Harris would have a 253 vote lead. But that's a pretty big assumption. A far more realistic view is that a bunch of them don't vote, or some vote for Trump, or write in someone else, or vote for the Libertarian candidate or another third party candidate and Harris still falls short.
