Results Open thread

(It’s 11:30, and I’m promoting this back to the top with a sign-off (probably) on the evening. Peter Shumlin was just addressing the crowd sounding very optimistic, and from my read he should be. He has a hair’s breadth of a lead at the moment, but looking at what’s still out, I’m hopeful that lead will increase. – odum

Since nobody has started one yet, here’s mine. Feel free to jump in and add your local results.

I just got back from the polls in Montpelier. We usually report early, but there was a memory card malfunction so we were feeding ballots into our one working machine until 9:30.

62% turnout.

Top level results:

Leahy 2640

Britton 490

Welch 2714

Beaudry 497

Shumlin 2445

Dubie 866

Howard 1599

Scott 1363

Condos 2424

Gibbs 738

Hoffer 2220

Salmon 981

State Senate

Cummings 2208

Pollina 1860

Osman 1843

Doyle 1245

Larson 793

Harrington 535.

I don’t ever remember Doyle finishing as low as fourth in Montpelier.

  2. I don’t have all the results yet, but it looks like a big Dubie vote over Shumlin.

    Democrat Jeff Young (the reluctant equal marriage veto overrider) lost in St. Albans City to Dustin Degree. I suspect too little door-to-door, too much controversy in the letters column of the paper, maybe a small amount of backlash for “changing his vote” against equal marriage in supporting the veto override.

    That’s one D-seat lost in the House.

    Cindy Weed, a P/D running against convicted DUI incumbent Peter Perley in a single-seat district, lost Enosburg (home town for both) by 90 votes, and won Bakersfield by 64, giving a loss by 26 votes overall. We had seen this as a sure win for Weed.

    Sen. Randy Brock (R) appears to be cruising to re-election in first place, with Sen. Sara Kittell (D) maintaining second, although not close. Democrat Mike McCarthy (who has posted here) and Republican Judith McLaughlin are swapping third and fourth place depending on the town.
