Swarney of the Green party was on the ballot in Arkansas for Senate

Can anyone tell me how he did?

He must have won, right, facing as a true progressive two apparently indistinguishable candidates, as he did?

What was the extent of his victory?

The Green got 19.5 percent of the vote!

I guess he would have won had he moved his values leftward.
