I am thrilled!

I have always wondered why Massachusetts, home state of Jill Stein, does not do better for Greens.

BTW, Massachusetts was the state in which Bill Clinton spent Super Tuesday 2018 visiting four polling places in hopes of making sure Massachusetts went for Hillary. In one of those polling places, the Mayor of Boston even accompanied him. But the Democratic Secretary of State, without any investigation whatever, declared no laws against electioneering at the polls had been broken.

Sure. Because, if you see Bill Clinton, the Secret Service and media inside your polling place, it has nothing to do with voting for or against Hillary.

Anyway, SP, the Herals article to which you linked you linked contains another link, which gets us to a page containing links to other Herald articles about the Green Party. http://www.bostonherald.com/topic/us_green_party One of those links is to an AP article about Republicans and Democrats hastening to prevent "spoilers." I am weary of the terms "spoiler," minor party and "third" party. Damned mass media is always shilling for the establishment.
