Official results: VERMONT

[Skinner]

In order to help everyone keep track of the returns from each state, please post all updates in the ten OFFICIAL THREADS posted for this purpose. There will be one thread for each state. Please do not start a bunch of other results threads, as they will just make people confused.

INSTRUCTIONS

Please put the most important information from each update in the SUBJECT LINE of your post, so the returns are easy to follow. Include the number of precincts reporting, followed by the first three or four candidates in order. Kinda like this:

00% reporting - Candidate A 00%, Candidate B 00%, Candidate C 00%, Candidate D 00%


This thread is for results ONLY. Please avoid unnecessary discussion in this thread.

29. It's almost exclusive small towns showing results right now

When Burlington and Rutland comes in you can expect a huge rise in percentage for Dean.

[girl gone mad]

30. Way to go, Deaniacs!

How the home state votes says a lot about a candidate. These are the people that know him best, and clearly VT loves Dean!

[ozone_man]

39. They sure do love him.

I had no idea he would win. People surprise sometimes, give me real hope.

[Andromeda]

33. Bittersweet, but gratifying...

If only Vermont had been first in the "supers," the outcome might have been different.

[Exgeneral]

34. Every so often

the good guys win one.

37. CNN Map of townships so far

[Zynx]

40. Where did you get that map?

[Ediacara]

42. It's on CNN's site

All of the maps are available here and should be updated through the night.

[KaraokeKarlton]

41. Kerry is only doing well in the towns with part time residents

Resort areas, actually. They generally have a lot of wealthy out of staters who come up in the winter to ski all winter long and don't like the fact that they have to pay the ACT 60 property taxes that ensure that even the children in poor towns get the same funding for their schools as the rich resort towns. Dean is blowing Kerry away in most other places with over 70% of the vote in many towns.

[slinkerwink]

59. ha, that's a funny fact to know.

[joshcryer]

38. This isn't worthy of it's own topic, but I wish Dean stayed in.

That's really all I have to say. Congrats Dean supporters. :)

[slinkerwink]

43. awwww, thanks! I wish that too!

[ScreamingMeemie]

46. I think that in itself said a lot for this man's abilities. They would

know. Congratulations Governor Dean! You are sorely missed.
