The internet rando that caused me to make this meme
It's already trivial to see that you're connecting. You're not making anything at all more difficult for state level actors, just yourself.
You don't have a skeleton inside you. You're a brain. You're inside a skeleton. You're piloting a meat powered bone mech.
There's no point in hiding the transaction. A state level actor will see that you're connecting to the Mullvad VPN addresses and won't need to check your credit card statement to determine that you're using it.
You wander into the town pub...

...ROLL FOR INITIATIVE!!!
I think I speak for everyone when I say
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
I can't say for sure but it sounds like a Ponzi scheme. You get some investors. You lie on paper that they're making lots of money. If anybody wants to withdraw, you give them the money from other investors to make it look like anybody can withdraw whenever they want. But there isn't enough to cover all of the withdrawals because you've lied about the profits. Then you get more investors. And more investors. You promise if they keep their money in your investment a long time they will make way more than the initial withdrawers. They were silly to sell when everyone is still making so much money. As long as investors continue to add money to the pool you can pay off the few people who want to withdraw. At some point it becomes untenable to pay everyone off and continue to look legitimate and so you just withdraw all the money and run.
Yes, there are certainly people who could help. I'd suggest finding them and asking them for assistance.
Here's the list of states and electoral college votes:

Just don't think about the popular vote. It has no bearing on who wins the Presidency in the US.
You can argue that it should but just accept that under the current rules it does not.
As far as your question "If Kamala wins the popular vote, how much does she have to win by to flip the electoral college to her side?" the only answer is "it depends"
It depends because as amazingly stupid as this sounds, one vote for a candidate counts either more or less depending on which state it came from.
Example of California (most people) and Wyoming (least people)
California:
Electoral Votes: 55
Population: 39,500,000
Weight: 0.00000139
Wyoming:
Electoral Votes: 3
Population: 580,000
Weight: 0.00000517
A vote in Wyoming (0.00000517) affects the outcome of the electoral college much more than a vote in California (0.00000139).
Another way of looking at it is that one electoral college vote in California represents the will of a little over 718,000 residents, while in Wyoming it represents the will of a little over 193,000 people.
Things get even trickier when you factor in the fact that some states split the EC votes based on popular vote or district, and other states are a winner-take-all (whichever candidate takes the state takes all the EC votes.)
It's a giant complex mess and it cannot be easily related to the popular vote.
