With one week until the election, the presidential race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump is close. Consequently, eyes are turning towards third-party voters.

Some have criticized third-party candidates, like the Green Party's Jill Stein, for potentially pulling voters away from the Democratic ticket and swaying the vote in favor of Trump. But many third-party voters say the major party candidates hold views that they cannot support.

Two members of the Massachusetts Green-Rainbow party, John Blumenstiel, the former membership director, and Elizabeth Brown-Lumen, join Radio Boston to talk about why they are voting for Stein and their goals for this election.

This segment aired on October 29, 2024.
