On February 6, 2015, Stein announced the formation of an exploratory committee for a campaign for the Green Party's presidential nomination in 2016. [10] In a June 2015 interview on The Alan Colmes Show , Stein said that she would announce her intention to run for President "certainly before the summer is up, probably a lot sooner than that". [11]

In December 2015, Stein took part in the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 21) in Paris, speaking at several forums. [12] [13] On February 24, Stein was invited to speak at the Oxford Union at the University of Oxford in England. [14] [15] In March 2016, Stein was one of only two presidential candidates to receive an A rating for their health plan from Physicians for a National Health Program, an advocacy group for single-payer health care, out of an analysis of the health plans of six presidential candidates, including the top two Democratic candidates and the top three Republican candidates. [16] In May 2016, the Marijuana Policy Project released a voter guide of the candidates of the four largest political parties (Democratic, Republican, Libertarian, and Green) in the 2016 election. Stein received an A+, tying her with Gary Johnson and placing her above the Democratic and Republican candidates. [17]

History

Stein began taking part in the 2016 Green Party presidential primaries in February 2016. Stein was immediately the front-runner and was described as "steamrolling to victory." [18] On June 15, 2016, the Stein campaign announced that it had received 203 delegates, enough to win the nomination on the first ballot at the 2016 Green National Convention. [19]

During the 2016 Democratic National Convention, the Green Party encouraged supporters of runner-up Bernie Sanders to back the Greens instead of Hillary Clinton. [20] [21] Stein officially won the Green Party nomination on August 6, 2016. [3]

Running mate selection

On July 31, Democratic former Ohio state senator Nina Turner, who had been a top campaign surrogate for the Democratic primary campaign of Bernie Sanders, confirmed that Stein had offered to make her vice presidential running mate. Turner said she would have not decided whether she would accept the offer. [22] The following day, Turner turned down the offer, saying, "I'm going to keep fighting in the party, even though I'm disappointed. I'm a Democrat, and that's worth fighting for." [23]

On August 1, same day the Turner rejected Stein's offer, Stein announced that she had selected activist Ajamu Baraka to be her running mate. [24]

Fundraising

In an e-mail to supporters on June 10, 2015, Stein wrote "I'm preparing to make a big announcement next week." She also challenged her supporters to raise $10,000 in that time period. Two days later on June 12, Stein's campaign sent another e-mail indicating that she had surpassed that goal and raised her fundraising goal to $30,000. Stein noted that she would seek to qualify for matching funds from the federal government by raising at least $5,000 from residents of 20 states before receiving the nomination in 2016. The e-mail indicated that she had already raised more than the requisite amount from residents of California and that Washington State, New York, and others were very close behind. [25] In September, Stein's campaign said they had met the $5,000 mark in five states (California, Florida, Massachusetts, New York, and Washington) and had received at least half of that amount in eight others. [26]

As of November 22, 2015, Stein's campaign had surpassed the requisite fundraising totals in at least 9 states. On November 28, Richard Winger of Ballot Access News reported that Stein would likely qualify for the initial public funding before January 1, 2016. [27] However, on January 3, Ballot Access News reported that Stein's campaign had only qualified in 13 states. It said that the campaign was trying to qualify in 8 others. [28] On January 8, Stein's campaign announced it had enough contributions to qualify for FEC funds. [29] Nevertheless, the campaign did not submit its request for matching funds and accompanying documentation until March 28, after which the FEC declared Stein eligible for matching funds on April 14, 2016. [30]

In January 2017, Stein and her campaign received the final amount of matching funds from the FEC. The final check equaled $134,900. Overall, the campaign received $590,935.39 in matching funds. [31]

Results

This map shows the percentage of the popular vote Jill Stein earned in each county. 2016 United States presidential election - Percentage of votes cast for Jill Stein by county.svg
This map shows the percentage of the popular vote Jill Stein earned in each county.

On Election Day, Stein finished in 4th with over 1,457,216 votes (more than the previous three Green tickets combined) and 1.07% of the popular vote. However, she finished three million votes under Gary Johnson as the Greens once again finished behind the Libertarian Party, though they did gain more votes than Independent candidate Evan McMullin and Constitution Party candidate Darrell Castle. [7]

At the state level, Stein exceeded 2% vote share in Hawaii (12,737, or 2.97%), Oregon (50,002, or 2.50%) and Vermont (6,758, or 2.14%). [35] She won her most votes in California (278,657, or 1.96%). In 22 other states, she crossed 1% of the vote. Although she did not win any counties or congressional districts, Stein placed third in 23 counties and 18 congressional districts nationally. [35] The Stein-Baraka ticket received their highest percentage of the vote in Sioux County, North Dakota (10.39%), while also surpassing five percent in Humboldt County and Mendocino County, California. [35]

She finished in third place in Humboldt and Mendocino, San Francisco, Santa Cruz and Alameda counties in California, Multnomah County, Oregon (3.25%), San Juan County, Washington (4.33%), most counties in Hawaii (Kalawao, Maui, Hawaii and Kauai), and four out of all five boroughs of New York City (Kings, Queens, Bronx and New York counties), in addition to Prince George's County, Maryland and Menominee County, Wisconsin. In Kalawao County, Hawaii, Stein received 25% of the vote and came in 2nd place after Hillary Clinton, although only 20 total votes were cast in the county.

Recount petitions

On November 23, Stein launched a public fundraiser to pay for recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, in which she asserted that the election's outcome had been affected by hacking. [36] Changing the outcome in these three states would make Clinton the winner; this would have required showing that collectively fewer than 60,000 of the votes that had been counted for Trump should have been gone to Clinton.

Stein filed for a recount in Wisconsin on November 25. [37] She subsequently filed for recounts in Pennsylvania on November 28, [38] and Michigan on November 30. [39] After unfavorable rulings by the courts, Stein abandoned her recount bids in December 2016. [40]

Russia controversy

On December 18, 2017, the Washington Post reported that the Senate Intelligence Committee would examine Stein's presidential campaign for potential "collusion with the Russians". [41] The Stein campaign released a statement stating it would work with investigators. [42]

In December 2018, two reports commissioned by the US Senate found that the Internet Research Agency boosted Stein's candidacy through social media posts, targeting African-American voters in particular. After consulting the two reports, NBC News reporter Robert Windrem said that nothing suggested Stein knew about the operation, but added that "the Massachusetts physician ha[d] long been criticized for her support of international policies that mirror Russian foreign policy goals." Windrem reported that his publisher (NBC News) had found that in 2015 and 2016 there had been over 100 favorable stories about Stein on Russian state-owned media networks RT and Sputnik. [43] In 2015, Stein was photographed dining at the same table as Russian president Vladimir Putin at the RT 10th anniversary gala in Moscow, leading to further controversy. [44] [45] Stein contended that she had no contact with Putin at the dinner and described the situation as a "non-event". [46]

Following Republican nominee Donald Trump's presumed electoral college victory in the United States presidential election of 2016, a group of computer scientists, cyber security experts, and election monitors raised concerns about the integrity of the election results. They urged the campaign staff of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, who had conceded the campaign on November 9, to petition for a recount in three key states: Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. When the Clinton campaign declined to file for recounts, Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein agreed to spearhead the recount effort on November 23, on the grounds that unspecified "anomalies" may have affected the election's outcome. The Clinton team subsequently pledged to support the recount efforts "in order to ensure the process proceeds in a manner that is fair to all sides." President-elect Trump and his supporters filed legal motions in all three states to prevent the recounts. Two other states were the subject of recount bids that were separate from Stein's efforts in the Rust Belt states: American Delta Party/Reform Party presidential candidate Rocky De La Fuente filed for a partial recount in Nevada on November 30, and three Florida citizens filed for a complete hand recount in their state on December 6.
