Oy, all y'all voting 3rd party. We told you. Quit your bitching. https://twitter.com/JamesSurowiecki/status/796406184232136704

@niclake Nic. The quoted tweet twists what the exit poll asked. Stein voters were not going to vote for Clinton. Votes weren't "taken."

Did you not read the article?

Johnson voters: 25% would've voted Clinton, 15% Trump. Stein: 25% Clinton, 14% Trump.

Yes. "exit polling asked voters they would have cast ballots for if there were only two candidates " There were more than 2, though

I am well aware of that.

And I've been keeping up with 3P voters. Stein voters were not going to vote for Clinton, by an large. They didn't "take" votes.

Their votes were not "pledged" or "owed" to anyone, thus not "taken" from anyone else.
