Alexander received 330,383; the other candidates totaled 335,007. So if Joe had gotten every single one of those, he would have won by about 4,600, 50.3% to Alexander’s 49.7%.
Actually, I think if the campaign had lasted one more week Joe might have closed the gap. My impression was that the last 3 weeks is when he really began closing in on Ole’ Plaid.
I should have looked it up. Still more against than for.
