GREENS MAINTAIN BALLOT ACCESS!UPDATE: The Stein/Baraka ticket garnered 9,879 votes, 1.24%, of the vote.  This tripled the number the GP ticket received in 2012.  Green Party on the rise!

Some say, “Well, we have to vote for the lesser of the two evils.” I myself have voted in this way much of my life. However, although lesser-evil voting seems to make sense in the short run, when one looks at the effect over time, its problems become clear. […]Green parties have been at the forefront of raising environmental concerns and addressing climate change, but they also prioritize social justice, grass-roots democracy and nonviolence/peace.
