Green Party Strikes in AZ

US Senate race

McSally(R) 850,043
Sinema(D) 834,135
Green(G) 38,596

The Green Party elects more republicans than their own candidates. Do they even have any one elected at the national level? Sinema used to be green but switched to Democratic Party. The greens still wound up working to elect a republican.

Angela Green dropped out at last minute. Too late. Put in the hours and spent the money to help the republican, then said "never mind".

I know the typical arguments about not being able to count those votes. Bullshit. The net effect is negative for us and positive for republicans.

Happy we took the house and picked up a seat in congress.

People had their mail-in ballots about a month before the election ... so that was really F***ED-UP of her to wait til a week before.

F*** the Green Party, man. Russian Stooges.

AZ Count takes a week, and the bulk of the outstanding votes are in Blue areas.
But yes, the Green Party f'd us.
The Republicans engaged in some ratf**king of their own, sending mailers to Democrats about how evil Green's "Sanders values" were.
