    There are 6,472 registered Green Party Folks in MA and 41 of them voted in the primary … of which Jill Stein walked away with 75% of the vote making the grand total … about 30.  About 30 people voted for Jill Stein.  

    Roseanne Barr picked up 9 votes

    1 vote went to Gary Busey (the write in candidate)

    And one voter left a walnut in the booth … we’re not sure how to interpret that vote.

    From a March 30 email from John Andrews:

    Today we received the official results of the Green-Rainbow Party Presidential Preference Primary.  The primary was held on March 6,2012.  Appearing on the ballot lines were Kent Mesplay, Harley Mikkelson, Jill Stein, and

    “No Preference”.   1554 voters took Green-Rainbow ballots.   The results for each congressional district can be downloaded from the Secretary of State by going to

    http://www.sec.state.ma.us/ele/eleres/res12idx.htm

    The statewide results were as follows:

    Option

    Mikkelson

    6.1%

    Blanks

    2.3%

    TOTAL

    1554

    Of the votes that were actually cast for candidates – and not for “No Preference” or “blank” – the percentages were:

    6.9%   Mesplay

    79.2% Stein

    6.5%   Mikkelson

    7.4%   Other (Write-ins)

    The Secretary of the Commonwealth has not provided a breakdown of the write-in votes.

    Massachusetts will send 11 delegates to the Green Party national convention in Baltimore on July 12-15.  A preliminary analysis using the process specified in the party’s Delegate Selection Plan indicates that we can

    expect the delegates to be allocated as follows:

    Mesplay    1

    Mikkelson    1

    Stein   7

    Uncommitted 2
