After all the votes were counted (and recounted?), did the votes for Stein affect the final results?

Would Harris have won Michigan were it not for Stein?

I am sure the numbers are someplace but here it makes sense to find out

Harris lost by about double her vote total.

Not that it’s reasonable to assume that all of her votes would go to Harris.

All third party candidates combined were slightly over the gap between Harris/Trump

We lust all 3 parts of the election because millions of people didn't bother to vote.

My older brother is one of those. He is ok with the end of the world because he believes the old spiritual "this world is not my home, I'm just a passing through"

It may have made the difference in the popular vote - but two million fewer Californians showing up didn't change how many electoral votes Harris received.

All seven of the swing states had more voters this time around than in 2022. The problem wasn't that people didn't bother to vote - it's that they voted for the other guy.

Stein's vote totals were negligible across the board
