If Howard Schultz runs, what percent of the vote does he get?

[The Mikado]

0.5% or so. He runs behind the Libertarian nominee.

Given that he probably won't get ballot access in CA, TX, or NY, it's hard to see how his vote total exceeds that.

Edit: NY is easier than I thought, but FL is tougher.

[The Mikado]

Major hurdles:

CA: 1% of registered voters (nearly 200k) by August 2020.

TX: 1% of voters in last presidential election (~90k) by May 2020.

FL: 1% of registered voters (upwards of 120k) by July.

NC: 2% of total votes for governor (~94k) by June.


I see no way he makes NC, for example.

For FL and NC, are those months for this year?

2020.

If Schultz is serious (if), he should put 10 million aside for a massive bribery campaign against Libertarian Party delegates. It wouldn't even be counter to LP activists ideas to sell out for cash. That'd get him on the ballot everywhere.

Anyone putting the number below, at the very least, 8% has a serious mental deficiency. There is exactly 0 chance in hell he does worse than 8%

How the hell is Schultz going to get signatures of 89,932 Texan registered voters who didn't vote in either the Republican or Democratic Presidential Primary of 2020 by late May of that year?
