I feel bad for all 12 people who knowingly wasted their vote on stein, because now they've truly wasted their vote on an incompetent candidate who couldn't even do the very least expected from them and won't even be able to contribute to (and still missing) hitting a meaningful percentage of votes.

The green party is a fucking joke that only exists to be a spoiler party, and shit like this is why I mock the green party. They're fucking clown shoes on the best days.

Paperwork matters people.

Of all the fuck ups. Have the convention earlier.

I mean it sucks because everyone's vote should be counted, but I also don't really feel bad for Jill fucking Stein.

Is her middle name "fucking"? I thought it was "asset".

[-] ravhall@discuss.online 7 points 5 hours ago

Asset is her maiden name. It’s a pretty common name in Russia.

I think it's more likely she's a useful idiot for Russia and an asset to the GOP. But I suppose there's not too much practical difference from our standpoint...

(Incidentally, according to Wikipedia, her actual middle name is Ellen.)

In my voting booth there was a piece of paper taped up stating that though Jill Stein was on the ballot, votes for her would not be counted. Wish i could remember the actual language.

English probably. 😁
