Her lack of an endorsement in Michigan probably affected her district at some level, but I seriously doubt it had anything to do with candidates like Stein getting votes in all the other swing states.

Only a miniscule fraction of voters in states like Wisconsin , Pennsylvania or Georgia have ever even heard of her. Endorsements don't mean much. Have you ever decided to vote for someone based on someone else's endorsement?
