* States in Which One Can Register Green - and Be Counted: From Richard Winger, Ballot Access News:
"States in which people can register Green and the government keeps a tally are: AK, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DE, DC, FL, IA, KY, LA, ME, MD, MA, NE, NJ, NV, NM, NY, OR, PA, UT WV. If the Greens were on the ballot in RI, their registrations would be counted. States in which people can register Green but the government won't tally are: NH, NC, OK, SD, WY. The one state which has registration into qualified parties, but which makes it literally impossible for people to register Green, is KS."
