The people voting for McMullin are really confused. If Stein gets 3% in California, 2.5% in New York, 1% in Florida (where you can't even write in McMullin), etc. do you realize what a big hole that puts him in?
I mean, if those numbers are right, sure, she'll top McMullin, but in 2012 Stein got 0.66% in CA, 0.56% in NY, and 0.11% in FL. What basis do you have to think she'll improve
that dramatically on her numbers? Remember that in 2012 she wasn't widely known to be a batsh**t anti-vaccine, anti-wifi (wtf?), #LockHerUp conspiracy theorist. Oh, and let's not forget the loony anti-semite she chose for a running mate this time around.
