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%.
