There are over 3,000 absentee ballots and 5,000 provisional ballots still to be counted, but the analysts I’ve read agree that Danny will fall short by less than 0.5%<\/strong>.  If it turns out that Danny loses the election because 1,127 people based their votes on emotion and hubris, instead of voting strategically with their brains, I will feel very angry.  Over most of the world, the Green Party is a wonderful and valuable organization, but here in the US Jill Stein made it a Russian tool.  See yesterday’s article in Think Progress<\/a>.  Danny gets another shot in November.<\/font><\/p>\n
