I have never posted online before so please bear with me. I have at least four versions of this letter. It has been difficult to write.

Like everyone else, I feel I need to explain my reason for abandoning my lifelong commitment to the Democratic party and going Green. First, I need to say I am not a millennial. However, I'm thinking anyone who does not support Hillary is a millennial, right. We're all millennials now. Damn those millennials.

All states have now decided the ballot status of the Green Party's Jill Stein for president of the United States.

Rhode Island, the last state to decide, will allow Stein on the ballot. This gives her direct access to 44 state ballots, plus Washington D.C. These account for access to 480 total electoral college votes. It takes 270 votes to win the presidency outright.

Today's update on Jill Stein and the Green Party is chock full of goodness and badness!

Wyoming and North Dakota have both accepted Jill Stein on the ballot, bringing the total number of states where she is on the ballot to 43 plus Washington D.C. We are now awaiting word only from the state of Rhode Island. She now has direct access to 476 electoral college votes. Rhode Island has an additional 4 votes.

A lot going on today for Jill Stein and the Green Party ballot access.

Stein will now be on the ballot in Kentucky, bringing her up to 41 states plus Washington D.C. where she will appear on the ballot.

However, the Nevada and Oklahoma court cases were unsuccessful. Stein will NOT appear on the ballot, or be a write-in candidate in three states now: Nevada, Oklahoma, and South Dakota.

Some of you may be wondering why I've started making these nearly daily essays on what's been happening with Jill Stein's run for president.

The basic reason is simple. Besides Jill Stein's reddit and possibly facebook presence, there really is no way for people interested in Jill Stein to track her progress and what is going on with her campaign. Without that, people easily fall into the impression that not much is happening with the campaign, and they lose interest quickly.
