The election is over, but the Green Party fights on! Greens in New York did not meet the new, unfair threshold to retain ballot status in New York State. That's the bad news.

Green Post-Election Reflections More than 12 days after Election Day, vote counts continue in Santa Clara County, California and the rest of the country. Although Trump has been defeated, it's been a very tight race for both major parties' presidential tickets and definitely not a victory for the Democrats in general.
