In those critical swing states the Democratic nominee lost by less than 1%. In everyone of those swing states Jill Stein received 1% of the vote. It didn't take much either, just enough to sway enough naïve people that the SC didn't matter, and there was no difference between the two parties.

Of course, it wasn't just these self-identified progressives who did their part, Comey, the media, and foreign interference also contributed, but their influence was just enough to push trump into the WH.
