Cynthia McKinney received a majority of the votes cast in the Wisconsin Green Party Presidential Preference Primary Saturday at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh.

McKinney received 79 percent of the vote; Kent Mesplay got 10 percent, Write-Ins for Ralph Nader got 5 percent, Kat Swift got 2 two percent, uncommitted got 2 percent, and Jesse Johnson got 1 percent.

Nader is not seeking the nomination of the Green Party of the United States, but both McKinney and Mesplay campaigned in Wisconsin this past fall as Green Party Candidates.

Green Party members chose a total of 24 delegates to go to the national convention on behalf of Wisconsin – 19 for Cynthia McKinney, two to Kent Mesplay, one to Ralph Nader, one to Kat Swift, and one for uncommitted.

The Green Party of the United States Presidential Nominating Convention is July 10-13 in Chicago. There, 836 delegates from around the country will determine the Green Party's nominee for President of the United States.
