Harrison Hickman, my genius pollster friend, told me a simple fact about the 2016 presidential election that I had not seen anywhere.

The votes that Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate, got in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania were enough to swing the election from Hillary Clinton. And make Trump President.

Here are the numbers.

            Clinton           Trump           Margin           Stein

PA       2,926,441     2,970,733     44,292            49,941

MI       2,268,839     2,279,543     10,704            51,463

WI       1,382,536     1,405,284     22,748            31,072
