Realistically, the 2% independents are going to get can be safely ignored. They will swing no states one way or the other. We aren’t talking Perot or Wallace here.
This is an atypical election, to say the least.
I think there are going to be an awful lot of voters who are looking for an alternative to Hillary Clinton, but are unwilling to vote for Donald Trump.
I would not be at all surprised to see these numbers hold, and for the independent candidates to garner at least 10% of the vote.
Of course, you can't blame me, because I am going to vote for Kodos!
