Jill Stein officially won the Green Party’s presidential nomination today at the party’s national convention in Houston, Texas by a landslide. Stein appeared with her VP choice, Ajamu Baraka, on the stage, but the final result was not listed on the screen. This editor compiled a state by state breakdown of the roll call vote and will post it below, in the comments section.
Five candidates besides Stein received votes: Sedinam Kinamo Christin Moyowasifza-Curry, William Kreml, Darryl Cherney, Kent Mesplay and Elijah Manley (who, at 16 years old, is constitutionally ineligible to hold the office of President of the United States).
I was watching live, there wasn’t a vote on the VP. Unless it was AFTER Baraka & Stein spoke to the audience after she was nominated (I turned the stream off after about 10 minutes of Stein speaking).
“Our campaigns” omits all fractions, so I suspect “Our campaigns” data isn’t as precise as the Krzysztof data.
is there a breakdown of VP vote?
Colorado gave 5 for Stein
correction : DC gave 1.5 to stein not .5
Kentucky did not report nor did missouri
correction texas: cherney got 2 not 1
So did the Vice Presidential roll call end up being acclamation or did they do a roll call? I was unable to watch.
It’s being reported on the interwebs that the GP convention has amended the party program to reflect the party being ecosocialist. Not Marxist. In fact, when you read the amendment, it’s not really anti-capitalist. imo. In fact, the party still proposes strictly Neo-Keynesyanism. Green New Deal etc.
There are obviously no major divisions within the Green Party. The Democrats and even the Republicans should be envious.
Ourcampaigns.com credits Jill Stein with 233 votes, and gives numbers for the other candidates, including 1 for None of the Above. The total I counted @ ourcampaigns.com came to 287 votes,

I actually was not aware of this Manley person until now. Who in their right mind who even consider someone who is not only too young to be President but also too young to vote for such a position? And I thought that the SWP and PSL nomination constitutionally ineligible candidates was bad enough.
I’ll be interested to learn the outcome of the convention’s vote on the proposal to align the party as an anti-capitalist/ecosocialist party. Stein hasn’t made any effort to articulate a socialist analysis. Stricy Neo-Keynesian.
Kentucky & New Hampshire also appear to not have sent delegates
PS
tallied up the totals provided by Krys
Stein 233.5 81.64%
Kreml 18.25 6.38%
Moyowasifza-Curry 14.5 5.07%
Mesplay 7.5 2.62%
Manley 3.25 1.14%
Cherney 8.5 2.97%
“No candidate” 0.5 0.17%
Guess Indiana didn’t send any delegates.
