Again, there is zero reason to think that any of them would have voted for Hillary. The Green Party supporters simply aren't potential Hillary supporters. From the ones I've actually known personally, I'd say that if the Greens didn't have a Presidential candidate on the ballot, they won't be voting. They pretty much never bother to run candidates at the local and state level and simply don't have very much influence in the political sphere.
Libertarians, on the other hand, actually seem to pay more attention and seem to move back and forth between political parties as they change their minds about things.
So this constant demonizing of Jill Stein makes no sense. Or, if you're still that convinced that she somehow singlehandedly denied Hillary the Presidency, you need to do a lot more thinking about why Hillary couldn't convince more of Stein's supporters to her side.
Again, if Stein is at fault then Johnson is at a much greater fault.
