I missed this post until now, with the bumped thread.

You’re right, and I was looking at a non-final set of figures. My mistake.

Even aside from the fact that Stein wasn’t running for President, she’s still an imbecile. Why would, or should, anyone vote for her? “She’s not Clinton or Trump” is not a qualification, because Clinton can just as well point out that she’s not Trump or Stein. The burden is on anyone voting for her to say why she’s in some way _better_.

Wow. I’m shocked and surprised, but I appreciate you being willing to acknowledge the error. Apologies for the pre-emptive snark.
