Opening the discussion here to address the issues presented about the MA Green Rainbow Primary. As of now there are two core issues:
1. The Massachusetts Sec of State website recognizes Dario Hunter as the winner of this primary, despite the same website showing No Preference as getting more votes.
2. The Green Rainbow Party recognizes No Preference (NOTA) as the winner of the primary and has allocated their delegates accordingly.
The election results in MA show No Preference (which was on the ballot) as receiving 316 votes versus Hunters 224 and so on. With No Preference receiving the most votes, the state's website is conflicting itself and Massachusetts General Law.
Howie Hawkins' website shows him receiving 1 delegate from Massachusetts, in order for him to receiving a single delegate from MA the No Preference votes had to be counted.

"The Green Rainbow Party recognizes No Preference (NOTA) as the winner of the primary." No source whatsoever has been provided for this statement.
Also the claim that "the state's website is conflicting" is ludicrous. I've read them and the two sources offered here on the talk page lend no support to your argument.
The candidate with the highest number of votes is declared the winning candidate. That's what the MA Sec. of State did. You have to be a person - an actual living breathing candidate - to be the winner of a state-run primary race. This is so common sense that it's unbelievable that it has to be explained. The notes already in the article clarify the situation - Hunter was declared the winner by MA Sec. of State, the no preference option had the highest number of votes overall. Those are the facts.
