    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%.
