UPDATED: Unofficial Minnesota Greens Caucus Results
February 8, 2012 in Presidential Campaign, State Party News
UPDATE: Here are caucus results posted on the Green Party of Minnesota facebook page:
Minus one caucus reporting, here are the results of Tuesday’s straw poll:
Jill Stein, 92 votes
Roseanne Barr, 26 votes
Kent Mesplay, 22 votes
Harvey Mikkelson, 11 votes
No candidate, 9 votes
David Cobb, 2 votes
Ralph Nader, 2 votes
Winona LaDuke, 1 vote
The Green Party of Minnesota held Caucuses yesterday (Tuesday Feb. 7), and as of this afternoon there has been no official Caucus results released.
However, based on very unofficial (and anecdotal) comments on various Facebook pages, including the GP of MN page, it appears that Jill Stein won a number of the individual caucuses.
Green comments on Facebook include Jill Stein winning Washington County, North and South Minneapolis, and winning 3 to 1 in the 4th CD District in St. Paul, and another report indicates Stein splitting 50/50 with Roseanne Barr in another St. Paul Caucus.
Again, these are all UNOFFICIAL, we acknowledge that, but in lieu of an official media release or report on the Caucus results we felt like reporting *whatever* we could find. The only msm news story we have found post-Caucus is from the Brainerd Dispatch which reports that two Greens showed up for their Caucus, but gave no Presidential results. From Facebook accounts, there were more Greens at other Caucus locations.
If you have any information about Green Party of Minnesota Caucus results we encourage you to post them here in the comments.

The lack of reporting on Green primaries and caucuses is really frustrating. Everyone’s obsessing over the Republicans, I just wanna know what’s going on with my party.

But Why hasn’t anyone from the MInn. Greens at least notified the Green party watch and national Office of the results.

Yes, it is frustrating. That’s why we need sites like this one and other great independent Green websites that can try and dig this stuff up and share it. Sorry we haven’t dug it up yet!

There is a folk saying that covers this: One hand doesn’t know what the other is doing.

I know the answer to this whole question. At one time Minnesota was one of the most well organized Green Party units in the country.
Oh well. Carry on.
