What states did Perot flip? What states with 10+ EVs did Clinton win that was close? Georgia, Ohio and? He won PA by 9, Michigan by 7.5, Wisconsin by 4.5.
Clinton won 12 states by less than 5%; in each of those states Perot had 18-20% of the vote. Clinton took 68 electoral votes in states that were decided by 3% or less. If all those states votes for Perot were evenly split (Perot probably took more from Bush than Clinton) H.W. takes the election. Heck with those numbers, states like California are still in play. The electoral map was very different back then; it was a different time.
Here’s a link for the state by state breakdown.

Except that’s not how math works

And Clinton was just 200,000 votes shy of Bush in Texas and 100,000 in Florida. The what-if scenarios could also go to a 480+ EV total for Clinton.
Perot didn’t attract people because he was a conservative. He was an attractive candidate because he was the ultimate anti-establishment guy.
We were in a recession and Bush had famously raised taxes - anti-establishment voters rebelled. Exit polls showed he drew votes almost equally away from Bush and Clinton.
