headoverheels 329 #1 Posted April 25, 2020 With Biden and Trump fairly close, what would be the effect if Mark Cuban decides to run? If Cuban pulls a few votes from the other candidates, would Biden or Trump be most likely get 50% of the electoral college votes? Does that change with Cuban in the race, or are Biden and Trump equally affected? If Cuban pulls enough votes so that nobody gets >50% in the electoral college, it becomes one vote per state delegation. Under that situation, I expect an easy Trump win (unless Cuban has gotten way more votes than I can imagine). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi heels, Or, how about Bill Belichick? Has Cuban been making some noise along those lines? Jerry Baumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airdvr 201 #14 April 26, 2020 Interesting scenario. Cuban could pull a Ross Perot and take enough votes away from Trump to allow a Biden victory. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
