I don't know anything about that race but I'm willing to bet nonvoters outnumbered Green Party voters by at least one magnitude.
Okay for shits and giggles I looked it up. Sources some local news and nbc. Keeping in mind Casey (D) lost by a margin of 15,115 votes:
Total registered voters in PA: 9,161,978
Total votes cast: 6,963,137
Nonvoters: 2,198,841
Green votes: 66,388
Also just looking at Democrats specifically:
Registered Democrats: 3,971,607
Votes for Casey (D): 3,384,180
D voters who sat home: 587,427
But yeah Green voters totally cost you that election bro
The monstrous Greens gobbled up almost 1% of the vote. Is the DNC afraid they'll break the 1% barrier or something?
Is my math right?
0.95% of the vote, which NBC generously rounded up to 1.0%.
