The goal of any third-party candidate in the United States is 5 percent of the vote, which qualifies a party for federal funding in the next presidential election.

Johnson fell far short of that goal, receiving just under 1 percent of the vote, a total of a little over 1 million votes nationwide.

Green Party candidate Jill Stein fared even worse, receiving less than half a million votes nationwide, just over one-third of 1 percent.
